They are using their democratic right to withdraw their labour at the forced pension changes that is being used as a disguise to bring down the deficit at the expense of public sector workers.

Im sure this will get people worked up like and if you are on an average salary of £110,000 a year, it is a difficult case to argue with, but they entered a contract on a set of terms and conditions and are being asked to pay for something that wasnt their fault.

Morally is it right that such important public sector workers ar eallowed to strike? I dont know and I strongly believe in the right to withdraw labour as a protest.

Difficult one.

i'm not sure it's a disguise is it?

why should doctors be exempt from any hardship borne by the UK? Especially when during the course of their working and retirement ages they earn a salary of 48 grand.

and no, they shouldn't be allowed to strike.

let's not forget how much they earn from their allocated private allowance either.

You are probably right, yet the government are still fighting the case that it has nothing to do with bringing down the deficit at public sector workers expense.

Take away a persons right to strike is the start of a slippery slope on other freedoms and rights. Surely history has taught us that much. You may not agree with striking but you should feel uneasy about restricting the right to strike!

it wont happen.its a piece of news being force fed from a anti hyped up news.

it was a survey being reported on, which was only completed by about 38% of doctors. I think it was mentioned that 62% of that 38% was in favour of (what I cant recall).

so that means about 23% are in favour of something whilst 77% are not.

thats a massive story
