Ambulance strike

[Kimosabi]

Should ambulance staff be allowed to go on strike considering the risk to people's lives 

[Mike Hill]

Yes

 

Because their wages are a joke , if they do nothing then nothing will improve.

[Ian C]

Yes of course they should. They’re working people with the same bills to pay as the rest of us!

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

Then it's the drs, trains, road workers and the list goes on.

Any one and every one ?

 

Still want a pint at the pub when on strike, still want your paper and your fags, still want a takeaway. Still want some one to fix your broken machines.

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.

And by the time it's all done and settled a loaf of bread will cost about 500 quid

Yes, but that is the same in all walks of life, not just the NHS, but they seem to think theirs is a unique issue which it isnt. Give those at the bottom a pay rise....justified or not, then quite rightly those higher skilled above will want a re set of the differential and so it goes on up the ladder. And at the end of it all the ones at the bottom are actually no better off because everything has increaed
