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.

    THEY WANT TO TRY DOING A DAYS WORK FOR A START! SO IF OUR BINS START TO OVER FLOW AND THE LIDS Don'T SHUT ARE THEY GOING TO TAKE THE EXTRA RUBBISH? THAT'S THE NEXT MOAN THEY WILL HAVE, count on IT. THEY FIND IT HARD JUST PUSHING THE BINS AS IT IS.

    They're lucky to be offered any pay rise at all. In time of recession, where do they imagine that the extra cash will come from? The answer is quite simple... from raising our taxes yet again.

    Striking is not the answer,but I do understand,when you see MPs and others taking large amounts of our money,what we need is a revalution,get rid of this government and immigrants,then maybe we could pay our working stiffs a little more.
