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.

    No I don’t support them its not a hard job today they don’t have to carry the bins out any more, and if they get more money up goes the cost of living so they will be no better off . They should try and live on what the pensioners get !

    To be honest this question is moot. If things keep going the way they're going, and prices keep rising, everybody will be out on strike not just the council workers! Who are they trying to kid? You simply cannot allow the utility companies and petrol producers to keep upping the cost of living and then turn to ordinary hard up people and openly lie to them about the inflation rate! Telling people that they can only have a 3% rise because inflation is only at 3% is to treat us all like fools. Meanwhile they in parliament get massive wage increases and place all their bills on their expense accounts. I honestly see a national all-out strike on the horizon.
