UK faces 'summer of discontent' as strike chaos continues
For weeks the streets of Britain's second city Birmingham have been piled sky-high with rubbish due to an ongoing dispute between local government and trade unions, and now the UK faces more chaos as nurses and teachers threaten to strike too over pay. The UK’s ruling Labour party is heavily reliant on trade unions for political backing and funding, which will complicate their promise to usher in a new era of industrial harmony. This week Nick speaks to former Labour Birmingham MP for over two decades, Khalid Mahmood, Labour Party adviser Scarlett Mccgwire, The Daily Telegraph’s Madeline Grant, and the man leading the charge on the bin strikes, Onay Kasab from the Unite trade union, to find out how vulnerable Labour is to the unions.
