You got me there! Anyway, enough of this foreplay, can we get back to the subject of this thread, please? Can you explain why a job as important, skilled, potentially dangerous working environment and with a high level of responsibility, long hours that required a degree should not be paid more a week than you make in a day and a half chopping up tree's?
-
Thats a very odd response. I'm having a great time replying to your pitiful baiting attempts. You're simply not very good at it though. I guess that why you dont have paid holidays and a fat pension. Should have stuck in at school, huh?
-
Im calling you a fool, I cleared that up by including the word 'you'.
-
Then why the hell are you so against them getting a pay rise then?
-
More fool you then. No wonder you're so bitter and consumed with envy.
-
Oh right. Well the NHS is already a 'dumpster fire'. But fighting for better or even fair working conditions and wages that reflect your skill level, danger and responsibility should not be inflated away and then guilt tripped by the gullible into not taking direct action as a last resort to preserve the above.
-
Earlier you asked another member what they do for a living and how much they earn. Care to answer that question yourself? I believe the answer will be somewhat telling as to why you are personally so against strike action.
-
That post makes no sense at all.
-
But its only through coordinated strike action that the employees will actually get real change to their working conditions and pay.

The unions are the main reasons we have the working standards we do today. The more toothless the unions become in the U.K. the more these standards are eroded. The unions in Norway are very strong and that’s primarily due to the support they receive from the people and thus standards are far higher here. You really do have a distorted and envious view on this subject.
-
Perfect!
-
Perhaps it’s time to have a two tier NHS. Those that have contributed nothing or very little get very little in return. Those that actually pay in get preferential treatment and higher standards of care and quality of products. I actually hope the NHS is scrapped and replaced with a far fairer system. Would maybe curb the treatment tourists.

No, I’d be bitterly angry at the government for not paying the Ambulance Crews a decent wage that forced them to strike. Blaming the lowest rung on the ladder is short sighted and still retarded. But you’re being a good little government drone by blaming the Crews and not the real problem.
-
Perhaps.
-
That’s on the Government then.
-
Because it’s retarded?
-
Yes. They are not slaves.
-
The Unions ask for as much as they can and the government tries to pay as little as they can. Somewhere in the middle is the answer I assume.
-
10% is not even keeping up with inflation so effectively they’re asking for a 7-9% pay rise. Considering how under paid most of them are that’s not much of a pay increase.

don’t bring your daughters if you ever go. 😬

Don’t know. Yes.

Blimey! Maybe old Alex was right all along?

The law has changed now so if I’m right then practically anyone can tow 3t again. -
