Bonzo77 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Another result of this governments cuts. Yet another vital service to the public has been put under attack to the point of breaking! Good luck today girls! (And boys) Strike action is a last resort, I hope your actions make the government pay attention! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Ladd Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 This is an emotive issue, but at a time of national austerity the offer on the table is not that bad. Many in the private sector, whose taxes pay for the NHS and whose companies taxed profits also contribute, have had an effectively frozen pay situation for years. The government policy is working, after the Labour catastrophe has been tackled, the deficit is down and we are in sight of its elimination, the economy is growing faster than any other mature economy. I for one hope that the midwives and others, restrain their action a little longer. Better times are coming, as long as, at the next general election, we vote Tory.

geared Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Good luck to them, I hope the government takes notice. They're asking for a less than inflation increase in pay and have been refused, it's ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a shame the MPs don't feel the same. Nurses have been on a pay freeze and the Torys want another 3 years freeze. In the mean time they give themselves 10%. I know group i value more. Its just another example of the, out of touch Westminster club. When key workers in the SE don't earn enough to cover their rent then you have a crisis. As for vote Tory. Save your breath they have no chance come election time. But they wont mind, they can live off the huge severance package and profit from their second homes.
