They could easily stop the emergency workers from striking.

 

I know how they can do it. Do you?

By giving into their demands is not the answer.

yes, lets pay everyone whatever they want regardless of the consequences of it from a fiscal standpoint. I await your support for mp's when they decide to disregard the independent pay award recommendations and demand a 19% rise instead. 

 

So if you know how they can do it, how would you pay for the increase in wages for everyone?

Nurses will end up getting between 8 and 10%. It’s time for the government to stop the posturing and cough up.

 

If you want a health service, it has to be paid for.

An offer similar to that between 7.5% and 11.24% made by the Scottish government has been rejected by the nurses in Scotland.

I agree. The NI rates should be upped with an extra levy in order to increase pay.

I think the strikers leaders overestimated their power and have lost the support of the public.

In the nurses case I think the necessary overall of the NHS  was already known and the 19% pay claim ruined their case.

Do you really think that is the sum they are after , As I have put before , if you put t something for sale on EBay say £100 that is just a starting price , most people don’t expect to get that.  Wise Up .

If you put something on Ebay with a starting price of £100 you want bids of over that amount !

That’s to make them look bad by the government , Same as they shout at labour about picket line  But I do think someone from labour should go on it , The union back labour ,so labour should back them ,
