WFH FURY Civil servants will STRIKE over two-day work from home order as bosses order them back in after waiting times rose
COMMANDERS of the Royal Navy’s supply ships have voted to strike for the first time — threatening to leave thousands of sailors and Marines stranded.
Martyn Gray, from the Nautilus union, said: “The result of this ballot is a clear indication of the strength of frustration amongst our members at the RFA, who feel overworked, underpaid, and undervalued.The Royal Navy said it “remained engaged” with trade unions representing Royal Fleet Auxiliary personnel over the proposed pay offer.
A spokesperson added: “It would be inappropriate for the Royal Navy to speculate on any possible outcome of those discussions or strike action at this point. “However, during any negotiations RFA operations remain unaffected and they continue to support the Royal Navy and our allies around the world.”Fletcher Christian led crew in seizing the ship in the South Pacific and forcing captain Lt William Bligh and 18 loyalists into a small launch.
Bligh survived a 3,600-mile voyage while Christian and his group were killed by each other or Polynesians.The bloodiest rebellion came in 1797 when the poorly treated crew of HMS Hermione attacked superiors.Also in 1919, 150 men of the 1st Destroyer Flotilla left their posts in protest at a possible deployment to the Baltic against Russia.HORROR FIND
