Description

With multiple strikes announced, is the UK facing a Winter of Discontent like in 1978-79? As the Royal College of Nursing announces its first strike in its 106 year history, and with strikes also announced by the civil servant's union PCS, the EIS Scottish teaching union, and the Aslef rail union, the team is joined by former BBC industrial correspondent Nick Jones, who explains the parallels and differences between the political and economic landscape today and that of the late 70s. With more potential industrial action on the way in other healthcare, rail, and postal unions, what can the UK and Scottish Governments do to satisfy public sector pay demands as they face a budgetary black hole?
