If this keeps going on then Gordon Brown will be tarnished with the Thatcher brand.
God I wish we all could strike. It's not the right time to strike with the credit crunch and the Government tills are drying up.

I wouldn't say I was totally supportive of these strikes but, given that fuel tanker drivers got 14% over 2 years as a result of flexing a bit of industrial muscle, it's hardly surprising that other groups might want to follow suit.
