Well i dont think its a matter of resource, they got enough resources. Its a matter of working over the holidays, unsociable times etc. As they are entitled to public holidays like everyone else, they have to get paid extra to be working over those holidays.

Yeah well the main bulk of industrial action is made up of the manual workers, although there are others in there like clerical who have had drops in pay and think the strike will do something about it.

Leave it out Nuk, people close to me are upset and worse off as a result of this situation. They don't need laughed at or ridiculed by another faceless wonder. Have a bit of humility

John, the bottom line is that it is a forum and folk are entitled to their opinion. If anyone is offended then they can vote with their keyboard, don't use it and walk away....................

I'm not saying who's right or wrong but I think we are entitled to make up our own mind as to what we want to read.
