Re: Possible public sector strike
No, I wont support the strike action as I dont see what it aims to achieve. Last thing we need is this government to be forced to back track again.
Sandrat was spot on . .
This has become public v private sector at the expense of constructive planning on all our parts to work out what we can do to get the country back on track.
People just dont want to focus on how we get things moving again (lets focus on the least important parts of the problem like getting the bankers or blaming the govt for getting us into this mess, yep mightnt sort out the economy but it sure as hell makes us feel better).
Theres disagreements and distrust on all sides of the table, each side as ignorant as the other. I still dont think that the people of this country realise what sacrifices have to be made to get things on track. Some people publically announce that they will take "the hit" for the greater good and then hide behind excuses when it actually hits them.
Personally I think the best way around this is for the government to say that people can opt to be in or out of the pension scheme. Then its their own choice, problem solved . .
