Selfish pricks should lose their pensions if they strike.

Find something better if you're unhappy with your pay and pension and let someone who currently has no job and desperately wants one have your's, or just be happy you have a job at all in the current climate and stop making life tough for everybody else, the majority of which are in the same boat. It's the way the world is at the moment.
I'm not sure what everybody who is striking thinks it's going to achieve apart from costing the country even more money that we don't have which is the exact reason these cuts have to implemented in the first place.

its your own fault you only earn £15k, no one elses. if you dont like it find a new job, unless you enjoy the job enough to put up with the pay. unfortunately this is the real world.

There are some lovely men in here who I now like more. Nurses  
That said, there are some seriously black and white thinkers round this place.
Lee I also am at uni, to get the job I want to have. I also work at the same time, up to 80 hour weeks when on placement whilst also studying. I do all of that and still feel the profession I'm going into deserves to strike. They did all the not lazy stuff you're doing to get themselfs a career. Should they do that all again because a condition is no longer what they signed up to?

you dont get to pick and choose which bits of a job you want to do. i probably would have stuck with my last job if i had less hours and more pay.
the idea behind striking is ludicrous, if i wanted a pay rise or any other benefit id have though the best way to show my boss i deserve it is to work harder, not fuck off home for the day and refuse to do any work, if i did that id fully expect my p45 when i returned.

Should you not have researched and thought about that before taking the job?

Lee, who said I was picking and choosing which part of the job I wanted? I didn't want to work in retail anymore and am at uni to get the career I want, not which PART I want.

if you applied for a job, and one of the benefits was the ability to pay X ammount of money out of your wages every month, in exachange for a getting that money back and more when i retire. Then, once you've paid into this scheme, they decide they want to change how much money they want to give me back when you retire, would you not feel aggreived by this?
The way some of you go on if somebody broke into your house and raped your wife you'd stand filming it, as lets face it, the rapist is just doing what he's supposed to, not his fault the husband is there.

the strikes are due to the government wanting to change something they agreed to l just 4 years ago, not about working conditions

fair enough,but thats even more worse. thats the countries priority right now, pensions. keep spending more money on peoples pensions when the country is on its arse. where does the money come from? certainly wont be from wednesdays productivity.
its a benefit that needs to reduced while theres not actually any money for it, once the economy is more stable then the pensions would probably go up again

I understand, but thats the idea. They know a strike will cost the government money, aswell as make them look bad, but people are protecting themselves, they could need to live on that pension money for 30 years+

but pensions are being reduced because the govermnet have no money! how does costing them money free up cash? its fucking idiotic.
the only people who look bad are the idiots striking, to anyone with a brain anyway. i imagine they have the full support of the nations scroungers and doleys

I think the point is, if billions can be wasted doing some things, what can they properly support the people of this country who worked al their lives to support this country.
Rather than paying to shoot abdul or house Ramandeep
