Cameron: Brown lacks courage and leadership to stop postal strike
Conservative leader David Cameron said today that Prime Minister Gordon Brown lacks the “courage and leadership” to intervene in the postal dispute to prevent two days of planned strikes, the BBC reports.
Since plans to part-privatise Royal Mail had been shelved “union militancy has got worse”, Cameron said.
Brown claimed that had nothing to do with the dispute and urged unions and managers to agree a deal. He did admit that the strike would be “counter-productive” for the business, their staff and the public.
Cameron accused the PM of dropping legislation to reform Royal Mail – which was strongly opposed by unions and Labour MPs – adding: “This trade union can sense weakness and they see weakness in this Prime Minister and this Government.”
