Just intrigued what the STW Massive feel, we are of many(!!) opinions, so do you support the strikes or not? Yes or no only, leave opinions at the door...I'll start.
NO
Yes
YES
NO
Yes (but not the unions who are a bunch of self serving fekwits)
NO
Yes.
Yes.
Yes
No

No
Yes
Yes
NO
Yes.
NO
No.
Yes
Yes - Our public service workers deserve more
No - Most people I've spoken to are treating it like a free day off
No.
NO.
They get better pay than me.
No
Yes yes yes
Yes, and I wish more private sector workers would Unionise or work together to fight for their rights to better terms, conditions and pensions
no
YES
yes
No
Yes.
yes
no
err i mean
yes
Yes
Yes
NO
But I'd like those saying yes/no to indicate what sector they are in, and who pays them (ie private and private, or private and public).
So,
No - Private and Private
yes
and how can it be a free day off, its costing me wages.
yes.
Yes
YES - violence, fires, your idiot children, other people's blood, puss, vomit, urine, faeces, death, crime, car crashes and hardly ever a thank you.... all reasons enough for me. the services you only appreciate when you need them and you're too ill or in danger to help yourself.
No. But primarily because it's costing us as a household and some of the demands seem a little unlikely, from what I've seen reported on TV.
Yes
Yes
No
Yes
No
Yes. Public sector staff serve the country. It's a despicable act to force them to pay more for less whilst the private sector (who got us into this mess) remains unregulated.
No
Yes
Yes
Yes
NO
No - in general, but, as a last resort / expression of exasperation:
Yes
Yes
On balance, No
No. (Wife's a lecturer - they've closed the college, kinda defeats the object)
In general though: Yes
Yes - and seeing as others have commented......
I don't work in the public sector (I do work for a charity though)
This latest Autumn Statement is an absolute disgrace - it's quite clear that this government intends for the poor and ordinary workers to take the brunt of our current financial problems, while the most well off get away scot free.
Yes
Yes yes yes.
yes.
NO
Yes
I work in the private sector and have seen too many people get ****ed over without a whimper - it's good to see a stand being taken.
yes
mrs has worked for the council for 28yrs.
NO
No
NO
yes
The 'NO' crowd are all very shouty with their caps locks on aren't they?
YES.
Dogbert - it's not a 'free day off' - you don't get paid if you strike (at least not in my NHS Health Board you don't).
DJ - self-employed public sector worker, in Public Health within the NHS but the Welsh Government pay me (oh yes it is complicated).
yes

Because the "Yes" crowd are greedy and they have never had it so good.
NO
No
Well, a picture paints a thousand words as they say, so

Well actually it just sez 'yes'. 😐 And a little monster thingy. What does it even [i]mean[/i]?
Yes
No. There's not a lot of spare money around. So MPs to set an example and take a paycut.
Interestingly I know a fair few council workers indirectly who'll be working today and are rather annoyed at the majority of the staff in the unions who're running around in the days leading up to this saying "what are you doing on your day off, it's nice to have a holiday isn't it". Seems to me there's plenty of screwed up thinking going on.
TBH you can pretty much say with certainty that if the Daily Mail and The Sun are screaming at you to hate something, it's almost certainly the right thing to do.
No. There's not a lot of spare money around.
There's plenty of spare money around, it's just that more and more of it goes into the hands of fewer and fewer people every day - the unions are one of the only forces left in society that can counteract that in any way at all.
Yes..
NO
No, but on the other hand, yes...
On the one hand I think they should be grateful they are so much better off than the rest of us but on the other, I keep thinking of:
