If they get the 19% they are after then the only thing that will improve is their wages....everything else they are allegedly unhappy with regarding their jobs won't improve as the funds to do so will have gone to them

 

 

This is true, partly,  but we all know how that works,

'I'll give you £300 to cut my hedge',  'no'

'How about a grand?'    'Go on then'!

But I'm only doing it out of the goodness of my heart for the 1k

My neighbour drives an ambulance he was on over £50k a year two years ago the retired and took his very good pension then was allowed to go back again must be coining it in.

 

It's the unskilled workers doing the menial but necessary tasks who I think should get a decent rise.

£50k is not much tbh.

 

If my decisions were a matter of life and death for which I was potentially liable for another person I would want three times that.

 

Unskilled is exactly that.

I'll cut the hedge for £1k but only if I can keep the clippings

But what if someone dies as a consequence of an ambulance not turning up was more what i was saying

Ambulances risk never turning up if no one wants to drive them because of an un realistically low wage mate.

 

Or would you rather you were tended to by a binman?

 

You know, one of those low skilled jobs that deserve a pay rise.

What is unrealistically low out of curiosity? Surely that's the job which they trained and signed up for

I'll bet that their job spec and wages aren't the same now as what they signed up to. Hence the strike. I'll also bet not many of them had a goods might sleep on the night of striking.

You said an unrealistically low wage so just how much is that?
