Looks like this union understand the way things are!

Not nice for the people involved but good on them!

I imagine he won't be standing up at PMQ's and repeating that. . . .

He's fking well right though.

I am sure one reason unemployment is not worse right now is that staff in many firms - I know a few myself - have mucked in. Managers and workers have taken pay cuts in some cases. Teams of staff have preferred to take the pain of reduced pay/hours and keep a 'critical' team together than to see further redundancies and a maintenace of pay, at the expense of long term survival.

There is no way he said that without gritted teeth, that goes all against why they and the unions stand for.

But good on the understanding of a few people to realise that they want a job instead of taking the company to the wall and having nothing.
