Plenty of strikes doing the rounds at the moment, some justified, some not. I sympathise with the postal workers, haven't had a rise for years. The striking train drivers (even though every lefty on here stated train drivers weren't striking, it was just the lower paid rail workers) shouldn't be afforded sympathy, **** off you're averaging over £60K for a low skilled job.
Productivity in the UK is a problem and it needs to be addressed, unconditionally throwing more money at 'shirkers' isn't going to solve the problem.
