Ronn_Bman the lastest strike in eight days and I don't think it the last eight day one planned.

The Damn strikes would of ended by now but the goverment refused a deal.
16% pay rise and the agreement to talk of modinising the serivce (which will cause the loss of jobs and the changing of shifts which stand at 48 hours on, 48 hours off (Two night, two day shifts a week.) and that the sticking point. Fire Union want more moeny but no loss in jobs and to chaning of the hours they work. Goverment will give them money but only if it come from the loss of jobs and changing of hours.
Funny thing is the last strike by the FBU was in the last labour goverment.(twenty years ago) They gave and it brought them down, they just don't want a repeat of last time.
