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 anyone striking as we all have to work for a living and none of us are going on strike with lower pay rises etc, we can't hold the country to ransom the same if we refused to work, so why should someone else be able to hold us to ransom, at the end of the day its not the management who suffer its people doing an everyday job the same as council workers who have probably had less of a pay increase

    no most of them don't do their job properly anyway and they are paid well for the job they do - noone ever checks up to see that a job is done properly even when complaints have been made the streets in my area are full of rubbish left by the bin men and covered in weeds .
