Do you support council workers’ proposed strike?

Britain could see a mass load of strikes this summer, with rubbish going uncollected and schools left shut, as hundreds of thousands of council workers threaten a walkout over a 2.45% pay rise. Do you support industrial action from workers in the public sector? Have your say.

    Council Workers want a rise in pay when the country is in Recession and Businesses are closing down.
    They should count themselves lucky that they still have a Job to go to.

    not anymore,all i get to see for my council tax is taking the bins to a collection point,tenant meetings when i'm at work.They have the nerve to complain-they can get stuffed-why? because if i need anything it takes them months,but when my monthly salary overlaps,i soon get a letter threatening eviction-i keep all letters just in case,i have a nice collection.Finally i suggest that you keep all correspondence,if you get any hassle,go to the media/solicitor-stand and be counted-
