UK Rail Union Rep Squashes Anti-Labor Talking Points Like Mushy Peas

Eddie Dempsey, UK Rail Union Representative talks about why RMT workers are on strike when questioned about the timing of the Commonwealth Games. The Majority Report crew discuss how workers like from the RMT union were deemed “essential” until it became time to provide them with benefits. The crew talks about the shared sacrifice that comes with striking, which is done to get the attention of companies in the hope that they will meet to an agreement with unions. The MR crew also talks about how in the United States, unions are mystified and opposed to being seen as an organization working in the best interest of itself to obtain the maximum value for specialized labor.
