It is certainly my answer to not getting a pay rise for years on end, yes. Otherwise you’re just meekly accepting that your living standards will constantly be reduced. At what point do you think workers should question this? When they have to get their wages topped up by universal credit, or when they have to go to food banks in the last week before pay day?
I can understand very well why people would be reticent to take strike action given how precarious people’s jobs can be, but that others feel less confident in such action seems to be your justification in question another group of workers who are confident and secure enough to do so. All that belief does is undermine one of the few highly unionised sections of the workforce from fighting back against cuts to their pay and conditions, which they have every right to do. Otherwise, as others have said, employers will simply run roughshod over them.
