hi
In nearly 60 years of working in several type of professions I am glad to say that I have never been called out on strike in my total career.
I was a union member in some cases and not in others.

I believe in the right to strike and feel that the Unions involved do have a good case to do so in this particular instance.

The various sides to the issue are set out earlier in this thread with very predictable opinions made on both sides.

Could I just muse about a Government that declared a day's holiday for the Royal Wedding the whole of the UK and then castigates Unions for taking action to raise concerns over their welfare. For the strike they quote various "fag paper" estimations about the cost of lost production to the British taxpayers.

Course.....Dave,George et al went to the Wedding....hmmmm.

Cheers

Mike
