Left members expect Mr McClusky to win the Unite leadership election this summer. They like the way he works, his politics and his tub thumping class war rhetoric
As mentioned many times on this thread alone! Cabin Crew beware, if these people start pulling the strings of political power your positions at the top of the CC tree will also start to look a little privilidged against the communistic state tendancies. McC is using you as a stepping stone to get to the top job in Unite. If that stone sinks under the water he won't bat an eye or shed a tear during his ascendancy. Remeber that when he is spouting his honied pro strike words. He has a totally seperate agenda.
'Capitalism has failed' said Mr McCluskey last year and the state should 'intervene where necessary through industry control and ownership'
Didn't Mr McClusky do well in totally destroying the docks industry in Liverpool as well. Now he wants to see it country wide. Sadly for Mr McClusky unless the entire world agrees to his stance then competition will exist from without Comrade Land UK which will exert market forces far greater than a stalanistic Goverment could afford. We cannot produce all of what we need on this island and we have no heavy industry thanks to the militant actions of McClusky and his comrades. State ownership and the destruction of commerce will destory this country.
This is the man trying to make a name for himself by destroying BA. This is a man who has a golden parachute pension paid for by Unite members. This is a man who's organisation is planning to exert direct pressure on the Government through financial coercement if Labour win the next election. This is a man who thinks nothing of flounting his expenses allowance on posh restaurants at the TUC congress but invites his striking members for a hot dog and a cup of tea whilst they lose their income. This is a man who takes home in excess of £150,000 of your membership fees every year.
Do you really trust this man?
