OK just once more guys !
My point is its too late !
Even if the Government "pay up " they are going to clawback that money by cutting Jobs.
and that means more unemployment and lack of services..
You may get your pension but make sure you don't get ill because there will be no hospital and keep driving your car because there will be no bus ! Oh and "buy a shotgun" because there will be no police .in short take your money and run !
I agree to a cirtain extent, what's the point of striking if there's no money there to stike for. But surely the people who decided that this was the best thing to do are the same people who award themselves payrises above and beyond inflation. The amount of money waisted on burocracy in this country is appauling.

do you know how little a prison officers can earn ?
I do feel for our bobbies, they take some deranged axe murderer into custody (very dangerous i admit,) Take 37 well armed, and armoured coppers, add 14 vans, an armoured land rover, MP5's coming out of your ears, ballistic helmets, stun grenades, a tactical deployment force, scene of crime scientific branch, contact with MI5, MI6, Interpol, Cross agency cooperation, ……. Etc etc, these are just some of the tools that your average bobby has at his disposal.
Prison officer:
A uniform, and a bit of old wood that he’s not allowed to use in case it frightens someoneoh I almost forgot, police liaison officer ffs
Salary
Police starting rate: 20,397pa
Prison service: 11,290 pa
:dunno:
Makes sense to me ……………… NOT, you have one force that spend about 24 hours with dangerous individual, getting paid a “just about liveable wage†and you get another force that has to handle these people 24/7, who get paid peanuts ……. And you know what they say about paying peanuts……………..
I have recently come into contact with the prison service through the business I run, I have been shown all the ropes and have now had opportunity to talk to people in the service, from governors down to OSO’s
My god, no wonder its known as the “forgotten serviceâ€
I take my hat off to them all, top to bottom.
Thats bloody criminal! (and I'm not trying to be funny)
Who the hell decides what a job is 'worth' anyway. I'd like to see an MP live on that.
I'm in college at the moment, just finishing off my dissertation - hand in date next wednesday. The strike is not well timed - it's necessary but badly timed.
I am a bit put out though as our degree marking is being used as a bargaining tool, the unions have voted for the staff not to release any marks and therefore withold our degrees until the dispute agreed. Wont affect me much but for those wishing to go on to do an MA or whatever, they wont be able to apply as they wont know thier results. Not the best action for the union to take if they want the NUS on thier side.

by genuine, do you mean people who actually turn up when they say they will? Do you mean guys who are honest in thier profile and think you wont notice that they're 5'6" not 6'2"? Who idea of athletic is wearing trainers? Yet to meet any, but the people here on the forum seem 'genuine', which is a bit of a relief, I was very close to giving the site a miss myself. Jaded, me? Whatever gave you that idea?
