They are not perfect and expect special treatment when really they should be devoted to their profession.

Absolutely Graham and for someone who reckons he lives in Finland what has this got to do with him.The N.H.S has been under so much stress for the past 3 years with long shifts and under great pressure so instead of chastising them we should be having empathy for them. After all the fat cats at the top still get their fat bonuses.

What a disgusting comment.

Just as a matter of interest I wonder if this absentee poster accepts the fact that M.P.s had another pay rise this year.
M.P.s have been free in a way civil servants have not been to take on secondary employment to boost their income, because some M.P.s have struggled to make ends meet on their meagre salaries. Do me a favour.
I don't begrudge M.P.s their pay increase. Most are hardworking and honourable people from across the political spectrum and they do a tough and sometimes unenviable job. What sticks in the craw is the hypocrisy and the wilful ignorance of some as to how those who serve and support them are treated and how poorly they are paid.

The MP's all they have too, especially the poor INdiadeserve a pay rise for putting up with all they have to with ungrateful constituents who take them for grantedM.P.s have been free in a way civil servants have not been to take on secondary employment to boost their income, because some M.P.s have struggled to make ends meet on their meagre salaries.

These are the same nurses and health workers who selflessly worked ridiculously long hours putting their lives on the line . Those that we felt so much gratitude towards that we clapped in appreciation on our doorsteps every week I dont think laziness and greed sit too well when we talk about these indivuduals.

Well, they weren't holding us to ransom then, I dont think laziness and greed sit too well when we talk about these indivuduals.
There are other groups after our money as well
This comes up every so often and the inflation it causes makes ordinary families suffer, that includes children.
Think about it and give a reasoned argument rather than a knee-jerk reaction.
Please think of the left-wing. politics behind it

We are all going to have to pay for printing money and the workhorse of the world no longer behaving as such. We're going to have pay everyone closer to inflation and put up with the extra 1-2% of inflation that it causes. If you want to limit the wage bill sack individuals, the individual who do no good, instead of putting everyone on the breadline. We're in real danger of making work pointless. I'd rather make pensioners and other welfarites pay over making work pointless.There are other groups after our money as well

Every working person should be able to withdraw their labour if pay and conditions are not what would be reasonably expected. It's a fundamental right.There are other groups after our money as well

What alternative do workers have if negotiations have failed?

Coming from you I find that hilarious. You post a thread condemning our N.H.S who put their own lives on the line as Bod has stated even saving the life of your bestie Boris Johnson and yet have the brass necked cheek to complain about them for wanting a well deserved pay rise.There are other groups after our money as well

Nurses and ambulance workers, railway staff, bus drivers and postal workers have already voted yes to strike action, while civil servants and teachers are waiting for the results of ballots. Many are public sector workers, while others provide important services such as transporting cash or conducting driving exams.
Most of the strike dates announced are for December, with action peaking in the two weeks before Christmas. The last general strike in Britain was in 1926, when 1.5 million private sector workers withheld their labour. Unions have seen their freedom to take such action curbed by parliament over the last century. Nonetheless, some union leaders say they are coordinating action for maximum impact, and nearly 100 years after the last general strike, 1.5 million workers could again be on picket lines by Christmas.
What is a general strike?
The Trades Union Congress (TUC), which represents most UK unions, was once able to coordinate a strike among a few powerful unions without the need for ballots. There was the potential for millions of workers to simply walk off the job in support of action determined in the TUC headquarters to confront the government of the day.
What happened in 1926?
The General Strike, the only one to take place in Britain, was called on 3 May 1926. It lasted nine days. About 1.5 million workers were involved, about as many as are expected to go on strike in December.
