Well they are one in many going on strike , and if they can’t live on what they are paid. that is the only way,   for onei  would march in support for them , and if they do like miners did going round for donations i will gladly support them ,I But I am firm believer in a fair days work for a fair days pay , But I know most conservatives will disagree ,  my own  view .

Everyone on the left saying tax should be higher, pay should be higher, all seem very reluctant to put any figures on it.

 

If you don't think 37k is high enough, what is, and which of your taxes would you like to go up to pay for it. or would you like your pension postponed for a few years

 

strikes are idiotic, that's why you got your nemesis in the 80s. You wanna bring the country to it's knees again?

So the person a few pages back claiming he knew someone who worked 5 12 hour shifts a week....assume this is by choice?

Well yeah, but I’m also fairly sure they wouldn’t be allowed to work that many shifts. I could be wrong tho I suppose. 
 

Edited to add…

 

Theres a 48 hour a week working limit, but apparently you can opt out of this if you and your employer agree and it’s put in writing.

It's the unions that have accepted what amounts to an average 5% pay rise, not the NHS.

 

https://www.gov.scot/news/record-pay-deal-for-nhs-scotland-staff/

 

From the above:

 

“Following constructive discussions with unions and employers, we are offering the biggest single year NHS pay uplift since devolution.

“Experienced porters will receive more than £1,000 extra, while a healthcare support worker will see more than £1,200 extra. Experienced nurses will see their pay rise by more than £1,600 and an experienced advanced nurse practitioner will receive almost £2,400 more.

This sounds better.

 

The Scottish government has made a new pay offer for 2022/23: a flat pay raise of £2205 for all Agenda for Change staff, effective from April 2022.

 

Local authority workers in England accepted a flat rate pay award of £1,950 plus an extra days holiday.

 

Flat amount offers seems to be what is being offered and accepted.

Its more the point people on 2400 a month after deductions are ringing national radio stations to plead poverty, its absolutely absurd.
