Can you remember during covid when teachers were saying kids need their education? Closing the schools resulted in a loss of 0.3 to 0.9 years of schooling for these kids.

You'd think teachers would put the kids first after all that and not let them fall further behind :emoticon-0106-cryin

Although I support all the NHS strikes, I got to thinking that many of the arguments are that people are using foobanks, so what financial position has this put any striker in if they've taken several days of strikes. So I do question the amount of destitute some are in, if they are willing to strike, unless they are not and are breaking the picket line OR are the ones supplying emergency cover. The reason I got thinking about this was because I heard yesterday that teachers were prepared to strike for a month, so maybe some strikers are not as destitute as they make out to be or will be going hungry. Soz that's just the logic of my brain, I know some will argue that's the extremes they have to go too, but I will still say if you couldn't afford to live, you certainly can't now!

No way they will strike for a month, most couldn't afford that.

That's exactly what I think. It's like the railway and tube workers, are they even striking now, because if they are they are not getting the same publicity, but still losing money, it's just not sustainable.

The Tories will be out next election, but I honestly can't see Labour fixing any of this, no one is going to get the wage demands they are currently wanting, regardless of who is in power, then when you factor in the financial losses of being on strike, madness.

The unions will stop the strikes later on in the year. There's an election coming up <whistle>

This is a power grab by them but the poor folk striking because their rich well off masters are telling them to, are so gullible that they can't see it.
