Strikes in UK by (surprise surprise) government workers.. I say let them rot, they wanna collect "blue sky pensions", 5% raises per year and still never work hard or take on more responsibilities. These lazy greeedy scum should all be FIRED. IF They dont' like that cozy government job , then good riddance , someone else in private sector will do same job for lower pay and do a 50% better job. It's like the old adage..."you can add water to flour, but good luck taking the water back out of the flour!" these lazy government teachers/tax staff have gotten it so good for so long, now they protest .. Most probably sit in their office all day and file their nails. IF They don't like salary/benefit reductions, then FIRE EM ALL, i say. Let's see how they feel with no job. If no teachers, then Let the kids be homeschooled. . . . " Hundreds of thousands of British public sector workers went on strike Thursday to defend their pensions, causing widespread disruption to schools and state-run services. A third of English schools were closed and another third were affected, officials said, as up to 350,000 teachers, lecturers and education staff took action against plans to make them work longer and pay more into their pensions. Tax offices, museums and job centres were also brought to a standstill as a further 100,000 civil servants walked out on the first nationwide day of strike action since the coalition government took office last year.
