Esther McVey warns socialist insanity over 4 day week is on

Labour run Cambridge Council is wanting to maneuver to 5 days pay for 4 days work. This Socialist insanity is clearly catching on because the PCS Union is now calling for a similar for his or her civil service members.

Fran Heathcote, the PCS Union General Secretary is demanding a ‘significant shortening of the working week’ for the 200,000 civil servants her commerce union represents, to not point out longer holidays (35 days annual go away up from 28 days).

Obviously that further day without work per week, each week, 52 weeks of the yr, is leaving workers exhausted and in want of one other week’s vacation – all paid for by the taxpayer.

Mark my phrases, the commerce unions are calling the pictures over Labour. Since 2010 they’ve funded the Labour Party to the tune of £134m and the Labour chief Keir Starmer has personally accepted £81,000 since Jan 2020.

Labour MPs had been out on the picket traces with the practice drivers, demanding more cash and fewer hours, despite the fact that they already get on common £65,000 a yr for 35 hours work per week.

Combine this with the employees’ rights laws Labour are planning to usher in, and we’ll be again to the Seventies – industrial strife, a collapse in productiveness and being the sick man of Europe.

Oh yeah, Sir Keir whose favorite tune is Ode to Joy, the EU National anthem, would have us again within the EU – by way of the entrance or again door – in a heartbeat.

Given its help of strikers and its dedication to repeal the anti-strike laws we launched, it’s not a lot the Labour Party because the Withdrawal of Labour Party.

None of this bodes nicely for small companies who’ve already made clear these new employees’ rights would shut down a few of them.

It can also be unhealthy news for taxpayers who’d be paying for employees to have a day without work every week.

After the financial and monetary shock of locking down the financial system for the perfect a part of two years in the course of the covid pandemic, the nation wants a concentrate on placing a rocket booster to financial development.

Turning the nation again to the unhealthy previous days of union dominance with a weak Labour chief appeasing them is the very last thing the nation wants. In reality it’s one thing from which we could by no means get well.
