Are the unions doing the tories job ?

[Spartacus]

Whilst it's possibly not going to sway some, but with today's announcement by Mick the Grinch over strikes 24th to 27th December plus other disruptions to daily lives by other strikers, and with the potential for spiraling inflation should the unions get all they want for their members* then will the general population get fed up with union action and increased costs?

This could turn any progress Labour have made back towards other parties with the population potentially fearing further strikes and more union power. Is this playing into the Tories hands ?

* I'm not debating that workers don't need more money, just that if they do then it could cause prices to go up thus requiring further pay rises to keep pace.

Do many people really associate Labour with the unions any more?

No. They're more like tory lite.
