Re: Teachers' & other public servants' strike
 

Whilst the strikers have my 100% support, why on earth would you or anyone think its a fairer option fer new starters to bear the changes/costs etc, imho thats a very poor example.:eek:

Re: Teachers' & other public servants' strike
 

My thoughts exactly Changes need to be made but stick It up the newbies.

Or the working class can kiss my ass I've got the foremans job at last.:hehetable

Um was just asking:D:D

Re: Teachers' & other public servants' strike
 

It's being discussed on the Jeremy Vine show. BBC radio 2 12-00 mid day.

Should be fun.

Re: Teachers' & other public servants' strike
 

This is no different than what a lot of companies have already done closing the doors to new starters to company pension schemes, which is not what I want, just that changes be made that dont affect the thousands of people that have already paid into the schemes for years

Re: Teachers' & other public servants' strike
 

I have every sympathy for this strike. Being a public sector worker myself, I am thoroughly brassed off with the government constantly moving the pensions goalposts. I have paid into my NHS pension for 24 years. The vast majority of NHS workers have very small pensions, they are domestics, porters, catering staff, health care assistants, nurses and midwives. The people getting big pensions are few and far between.

What ticks me off the most is now being told that we are working longer. I believe the police, fire and armed forces will still be able to retire early but not nurses and midwives!!!!!

I would love to ask all of our MPs one question..


If you are hospitalised and are a patient on one of our massive wards, in one of these new super hospitals that are springing up everywhere and you have a cardiac arrest......... Who would you want to run for the Defibrillator??

A 25 year old nurse or a 65 year old nurse????


It's a no brainer.

Re: Teachers' & other public servants' strike
 

that wallop is backpedaling, yeh did say its a fairer system.which implied thats what yer prefer.:rolleyes:

Re: Teachers' & other public servants' strike
 

I'd have the 21 year old blondie and tell her to forget about running for the defibrillator but to get herself straddled over the hospital trolley and start giving me some serious chest message.

That's the no brainer!

Re: Teachers' & other public servants' strike
 

if thats what you think you are way way off the mark at least 70% of civil servants are on half of that and are paid less than people who do the same work in private firms your having a laugh you have just proved you havent got a clue what your talkin about and took in all the tory propoganda:eek:

Re: Teachers' & other public servants' strike
 

No there not

Re: Teachers' & other public servants' strike
 

I was asking a rhetorical question. Referring to how much support there'd be for today's strike, from workers in the private sector.

I never said it's what I think.

Besides, if you read it again, perhaps putting your finger under each word as you read aloud, you'll see I didn't give figures, but said 'many of whom are on more than fifty grand a year'.

Which is the case.

I know many in the teaching profession who earn that, and more.

Do try and read things more carefully.

There are 'many' other people more likely to catch me out, before you ever do.
