Simply question - do you agree?
I`m torn.
Simply:
1) Hate the banks and politicians ref expenses etc - they look after themselves and others have to pick up the pieces, the banks could pay the money back now (or at least some) but as far as i read they haven't yet.
2) I`m from a Private sector background and we got treated like garbage, hours, pay, bonuses cut, redundancies, false promises etc... we couldn `t strike as we weren't part of a huge union.. no one cared.
3) I run my own business now, we all are contributing the 'the recovery' i have no pension, interest rates are so low (savings make next to nothing), we are paying 20% VAT, Corporation tax etc is high, prices of all commodities is very high, fuel, tax, insurance etc...
4) I can understand their frustrations, promises keep being moved, having to contribute more/work longer...
5) In all honestly some public sector services i`ve dealt with have been appallingly badly run, the benefits dept, jobcenters, local council etc... they cant even send a letter without a hassle, so many forms to fill in etc... surely the processes should be looked into as well to save money?
6) Children being off, parents having to take time off so teachers can strike - is this the right way? Is this the only way? I dont know how far down the 'negotiating' route they are but unless they are at the end then its a no from me.
Just be interested to see what the general consensus is?
