UK STRIKE DAY 30TH NOVEMBER

RE: UK STRIKE DAY 30TH NOVEMBER

Take teachers for example. They have 104 days off in a year due to weekends, 8 bank holidays and usually around 4 "teacher training days". That's 116 days. Then they have 13 weeks paid holiday - 91 days. So already 207 days off each year. On top of that they only"work" 9-3 which is 6 hours a day in the remaining 158 days and means 18 hours off every single day - 2844 hours more off, or 118.5 days.

So that means they only work 39.5 days in a year, and as they don't do full shifts, working only 6 hours per working day, then those 39.5 working days convert to 29.625 "real" working days of 8 hours per day, in each year.

On top of that your average teacher gets out of 3 more days of actually working per year by going on school day trips to museums and stuff, and many get a further week away on in term weeks away with pupils. That leaves 19.625 days a year work. Made up in my head government statistics say that public sector workers have the highest sickness rate in the UK due to the "stress" of their jobs, taking on average 18.625 days per year sick leave, paid of course.

Your average teacher therefore only works one day per year! This day happens to be on November 30th and they're on fucking strike that day!

And they think their pensions aren't quite lucrative enough? Try going to work for a day or two, you spongers.

ROFLOL

This is a wind up right ? You couldn't be being serious......could you?

Are YOU?
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

. All the teachers I know work their rings off, they work most of their 6 weeks holidays and weekends.

I'm a tradesman, I earn far more than a teacher, they earn shit money, they get it back through benefits like pensions. Ignorant fuckers seem to believe teachers earn 50k and a whopping salary. They don't.

The fact that you even need to ask the question astonishes me.

Will definitely be there, though all our efforts may be for nought as when we reach 65 the state pension age would've risen again. By the time I'm 65 pensions may well be scrapped. It'll be like the "good old days" where seventy-year-olds were working down the mine, except this time I'll be breaking my back wondering why I had to put up with crap from those born in the 50s moaning at me all the time in my younger days, whining that their pensions were too great for them to claim benefits, catering to the "self-entitled generation" as it were.

To quote Harold Macmillan who was addressing those people "You've never had it so good." may well have had some truth to the rhetoric after seeing the state of the country and the way things are going...

I'm relieved! You were joking. I sometimes miss attempts at humour on this forum cause some posts are outrageous and actually mean what they say.

Fuck you, arsehole.
Just watched the news and a cabinet minister was on crticising the strike because the day's stoppage will cost the country money.
Money wasn't a consideration back in April when the country took a day off because 2 privileged rich kids got maried ( the royal pair ).

Good point.

I was thinking: hold on, wasn't this a democratic descision? ...bet then I thought: I guess everyone's entitled to comment.
