Sorry but I dont agree with people who go on strike. I work and pay tax on my income and pay my council tax. Do I get a rebate if my bin is not emptied? I dont have a pension scheme so will be relying on my returns for my stamp that I pay out of my wages!!!

just to add, the only people who are having any extra years work forced on them are the ones that stand by and let it happen, if you dont like it then do some thing about it, at the end of the day these people had a contract with their employer and the employer has dishonoured/gone back on that contract

I think anyone is within their rights to strike over what ever they feel strongly about, but i think this is just the start of more to come as it is your pension today and the rest of our pensions tomorrow?

i chose to work when i could have taken strike action if i chose. each to their own jess x

Bravo! I may also be forced to work extra years which means that I shall be older than the patients that I am caring for! (That's if I'm not made redundant before!)

I have no problems with the strikers complaints... I just kicked myself for nipping up to the library to do a lookup when I should have remembered it wasn't open. Murphy's law says that it happened on a the day when it was easy for me to go to the library!

Hi All I note with interest that you are all concerned about your rubbish not being collected and your children taking packed lunches to school. I am on strike and have the right to do so. Everyone is entitled to freedom of speech, however consider being forced to work an extra five years. I presume this does not apply to those concerned about their rubbish collection. So there you have it and would appreciate constructive critisism only.
