I don’t understand the strikes at all. Yes they want more money, don’t we all. But what about the services that were not in place on Thursday because of this strike action?
What about the vulnerable people who were left out in the cold, some quite literally because no one was in the council to help them?
What did they do to deserve this?
Absolutely nothing that’s what.
If you’re going to shout for equal pay for all, then shout for equal pay for all, not just for those paid under local authority.
I saw a comment on Facebook by a teacher who said “we only want £1 an hour”. Over a million people across the Uk took to striking on Thursday and they all want £1 an hour. How much money is going to have to be found to fund their £1 an hour and how many other services would have to be removed to do so?
I only want £1 an hour more too. Those working in the shops in town, they only want £1 an hour more, but no one is fighting for them. Seems they don’t really count for much. Someone else on Facebook said “everyone should stop working and go the pub”. he didn’t like the response that the pub wouldn’t be open because no one would be working.
