Thank you biteme,
That was a very good answer.
I did not personally agree that a strike was the right way of going about things and I also did not like some of the unions proposals and that is why I did not strike.
It is not as black and white as many people like to portray. Many who did not strike are not happy with what is going on too and many people just did not know whether to strike or not. Some striked and lost there staff travel and some did not but alot made their mind up the day they had to go in.
It is a horrid thing that we are all going through and I, like you, hope there is a resolution soon.
