LSO switches Yuja date to avoid strike
NewsThey have brought next week’s concert forward by a day:
Due to strike action announced by GMB and Unite Union Members, the Barbican will not be able to staff all areas of its operation on Thursday 25 May and regrettably the LSO concert will no longer be able to go ahead on that day. We have been able to reschedule the concert to the day before, Wednesday 24 May, at the revised time of 8.15pm, to allow the earlier Half Six Fix concert to take place as planned the same evening. The programme will remain the same and will run without an interval, to finish at approximately 9.40pm.
We are all being held to ransom by these strikers and the refusal of government to engage with them.
Striking is a fundamental right; employers (here, the government) negotiating with unions and employees is a duty. Those two are not the same.
Employees exercise their right to demand better working conditions; the government is blatantly refusing to fulfil its duty to negotiate in good faith.
Not a rail strike. Barbican staff strike. Get your facts right
Not rail strikes. Those would be ASLEF or RMT. This one is GMB and Unite.
It’s not the rail strike, it’s the Barbican staff strike that has forced the schedule change.
Sloppy. This is not because of a rail strike, it’s GMB and Unite members working for the City of London Corporation.
Ah! Another chance to use that picture.
Review the con and use it a third time.
And you object?
I rather like the picture and have not gotten tired of it.
