NO. The country is in a mess, we all need to make sacrifices.
Except the well-off.
REALLY?
So outraged you had to post twice about it? It was a somewhat facetious comment - but the level of vitriol poured on the unions/strikers by the tabloids is pretty telling IMO. And for those who didn't realise already, recent public enquiries might have showed how vile and immoral the tabloids really are.
What's the result so far?
No
Yes
NO
Yes (it'll give the government much needed public support to cut more heavily).
nope
I went out on a ride this morning to show my soldarity and there was no-one else around. Have I got the wrong day?
(Damn cold on the fingers and toes - could have done with passing a nice picket line fire to warm up)
No
NO
its just a day off for them to go Christmas shopping, as can clearly be seen from people in tiwn this morning (buisier than normal, families out shopping with kids in tow)
While small business owners like me come into work to make money/ pay taxes/ VAT to fund their wages and pensions
YES, for the democratic right to with draw your labour,
and NO, for the reason it will achieve absolutely nothing, as quite a lot of the strikers also dont work weekends or over bank holidays and christmas.So just another holiday without pay it apears fopr them.

😀 No, I posted it once but it didn't show. And I didn't spot the hidden side 😀
Quick adding up - so far:

Yes. Workers have been getting humped over in this country for long enough.
No. (get real, no-one else can get final salery pensions / we're all in this crap etc... * )
* bankers are obviously outside that sphere of reality
No.

I have to pay more into my pension and work longer to keep it going (company changed it this year)
Please tell me why I should subsidise yours?
No pay rises here for years, all the while the public sector did and still are, capped yes but that's better than bugger all!
and that was after the redundancy's!
My company's still struggling to break even.
the moneys not there, suck it up, everybody else is feeling it
Really hard to see through all the lies and propaganda in the press though.
I hold the Tory's and Unions with an equal level of disdain btw.
No

Taken as a sample from "Lefty-trackworld"
Yes
for the following reason
My pension is the Local Government Pension scheme (LGPS).you can opt into it or not.
I opted in and pay a contribution every month. At retirement age the LGPS adds another 2/3rds to it. This is done by giving MY money to Investment Bankers who are supposed to invest it. However it turns out they’ve been to busy buying bottles of wine as expensive as my house and snorting white powder off young ladies buttocks for them to care about people’s money.
The moneys not there because of the Bankers nothing to do with the Public Sector
My pension is NOT paid for by everyone’s NI contributions. We are being asked to pay the equivalent of a 3% tax on our pensions. That’s fine if it’s the same for everyone, but its only the Public Sector that’s being asked to contribute.
So you can see why people are a bit cheesed off.
I’ve worked in the Private sector, been self employed and now the Public sector. Every time I’ve opted into a pension or savings.
I earn less than the UK’s average wage.
