When I was a permie I never took part in these one day strikes as they are a waste of timeand serve no purpose except give the right wing an opportunity go on about lazy selfish featherbedded tea drinking blah blah and lose a day's pay. Plus I would only haveto do the work another day. I reckon this one is mostly teachers and the reason is not so much pay as the absolutly tulipty way they are treated these days. Im jolly glad I never went into teaching, regardless of the holidays.Comment

And however good they are makes no difference to how much they are paid.
The only public sector who are overpaid are MPsComment
