@ Rover90. That makes a very neat summary of the position. Somehow [and it is not for me to comment on that] vast numbers of CC are apparently being led towards the precipice. I earnestly hope they realise where they're going.
From my reading here, and in other areas, any form of 'jubilation' about going on strike may be seriously misplaced.
Whichever, good luck to you all. Some may need it more than others.
