Excellent post mokryna

How can anybody try to deny how contemptible this move is?

The unions job is to campaign for the best deal for those they represent. The people we clapped.

People didn't clap for the unions.

Yes indeed Baggs what more do they want after all they got a clap.

Can you look into the eyes of Police Officers who have been out on the streets being spat and coughed over on purpose and tell them they don't deserve a pay increase at all?

Baggs Fri 05-Mar-21 14:26:37

Yes.

And I wish people's unions would stop whingeing.

Can those who have had treatment in the NHS, look into the eyes of those who helped save their lives and say that they are only worth 1% wage increase, which it seems that, as inflation will be running higher, it will be a decrease. Also, let us not forget that money was found and mis-spent, for non existant medical equipment.
Boris told the public there would be a saving of £350 million after Brexit to be spent on the NHS. He himself was ‘saved’ from this dreadful illness. and he was at the time very grateful to the NHS staff, who worked overtime and weekends putting their lives as well as their families lives at risk.
People clapped for the workers, is that time of deep despair to be forgotten, now that COVID is on the wane?
