Electricians' strike over pay 'inevitable'

[S.L.F]

i wouldn't mind a basic wage of 20 quid odd an hour...

bloody hell... no wonder the country is going down the tubes when people are so overpaid...

With a name like galleyslave even €1 an hour would be good eh...

I can't believe electricians are striking for more money since the rest of the country is going down the tubes.

I think we should socket to them.

I think we should socket to them.

there may be resistance to that idea.. this strike could well spark more industrial unrest, and could well signal the start of a new phase in relations with the unions. Still, I'll remain grounded and hope these livewires don't get too carried away with themselves. We could well use a regulator...

I just hope the plumbers and gas installers don't get involved, that could open the flood gates and explode in no time.

From what I heard, strikes were only to take place for works under government contract.

Strikes are taking place across the board.
