For those of you that are not aware of the fact, there is an all out strike at the moment in Scotland. It involves Nursery Nurses.
Jack McConnell (First Minister) said the following:
'While women were mainly being affected by the dispute, as mothers or as nursery nurses, a small number of intransigent men were to blame, Mr McConnell added.
"These people are being affected by a small number of guys, frankly, at the top of the trade union and the top of the local authorities who are not even talking to each other. It is a ridiculous situation," he said. '

I'd like him to have tried saying that to any of the sisters I've talked to on picket lines.
