Walked by DCC office on the quay, 20 people only striking

average_runner · 2009-11-24 09:15:02

Now surely there is more than 20 people working in that office and surely more than 20 people voted to go on strike. So my question is why arent all the staff out there walking, its a strike and not a day off or a shopping day which it seems its more becoming. The People striking should be up there walking back and forward…

Probably not, i earn less than 30K a year and joined too late to do the full 40 years.

But your pension isn't exposed to market forces. There should be a value attached to that because it is a benefit in itself.

Your scraping the barrel a bit here - a benefit because a government provides a secure pension for its staff???
