Ed Miliband won’t back strikes

Speaking in Croydon today, Miliband said:

“Strikes are always a sign of failure but I’m not going to demonise the people who are taking the action.”

“I don’t support strikes because they are always a sign of failure.”

That implies that Miliband is against all strikes, and doesn’t ever see them as worthwhile, doesn’t it?
