I mentioned recently that staff opposed to office closures at the DSA were threatening to strike.
Socialist Worker Online (SWO) is in absolute ecstasy over the latest developments. Apparently, DSA management has offered to defer any compulsory redundancies until 2012, but the stirrers have concluded this is proof that they were right and has said if management doesn’t come back with further “improvements” then they will strike.
Just in passing, SWO says that “62 percent of workers voted for strikes”. A more accurate statement would be that 62% of union members voted for strikes. So even then, only slightly more than half want strike action – but I bet when you add all the non-union members the number prepared to strike is somewhat less than 50%.
