Most of the teachers had fought in the war and would have believed strikers should be put up against a wall and shot.
Were you educated in Germany by any chance? In Britain we were fighting against such dictatorships. Did your school uniform include a black shirt, it might explain a few things.
Private sector companies just said this is what is happening move to another company if you do not like it.
I guess that's why you never hear of strikes at British Airways. But wait a minute, pensions were one of the issues that the unions were unhappy with when they went on strike.
I believe it to be entirely logical that any reasonable public sector worker would seek to avoid seeing their pension provision being unnecessarily placed on a similarly slimy slope that could only finish in being a race to the bottom.
How true. Already private employers are trying to switch to CPI. We are all in this together (except for those already retired) and what is taken away from private pensions ends up being applied to state pensions and vice versa. We need to be supporting each other rather than being jealous of fairly minor difference in pension arrangements.
I think it will be quite an achievement if I manage to live until retirement age and have a decent amount to live on. I'm just hoping that my private pension investments in high risk Asian stocks pays off!
