Qantas is being hammered by them recently to the poor flyers dismay. Today I read in the paper that the fire fighters are considering action as well for a pay rise.
Ok so I understand people want a pay rise, but does going on strike really help to get it. From my understanding when you go on strike you don't get paid for the time you are striking. Does a measly % really make up for the lost income when on an extended strike?
Wouldn't it be easier to personally go and talk to your bosses and ask them for the payrise? Most bosses would prefer an upfront and honest approach as opposed to being forced into a situation.
It just seems that now the unions have a foot in the door, they aren't planning on taking it out again.
I am sure most people in this country knew this was coming, but for some reason the majority still voted Labour in just for a new change. The old saying "a change is as good as a holiday" seems pretty sad when it causes issues in the country.
