However losing earned privilages brings out a dilemma for the people who enjoyed it.
The people you have been speaking too are idiots.
They probably work in the private sector, if lucky enough to have a job. They probably have either no pension or a very poor one.
They are jealous of the fact that the public sector has a reasonable pension, not a privilege. A pension that, over the years, has compensated for salaries in the public sector lagging behind the private. However, we are now in recession and those wonderful private employers that Hayter so admires, have slash and burned their own employees' pensions.
Rather than being against the strike, the people you have been listening to should actually be supporting it...and fighting themselves for a better pension.
There is an old saying, all of us are in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
Tell them that when you next contact them.
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
