Strikers

[lady-janine]

I am finding it a little difficult to understand this constant need to strike.
I fully understand the need for more money and I also think that there are some very fat, overpaid cats around but I feel quite sure they will not lose their bonuses or share dividends when pay day comes round.
All I can see happening is that eventually all strike payments will eventually passed on to customers and so no one will be better off.
I would love to see my pension increase by a substantial amount but doubt that it will and anyway it would be passed on to tax payers who will then want another rise.
The whole thing is a complete roundabout.

Does anyone agree with me or am I completely wrong?

The only people not to lose will be the fat cats and strike leader who never lose out whatever happens.

They might get more pay, but their spending power is diminishing. They are doing the same work, but through no fault of their own, they have less money.

I think this one will be worse.

1978 was very bad.
Inflation is out of control, the fear is recession is lurking on the horizon.

// The leadership to grab, grab, grab seems to come from the top. It would be wonderful to have leaders who think of their country rather than themselves and their 'friends', all of whom seem to have an overwhelming want for more all the time.//

Odd that their boss gets a bonus when they’re deemed to be failing though?
