[QUOTE="General Melchett, post: 1111972, member: 74895"] Strikes spreading like wildfire. Civil servants now striking including border force on 23/24/25/26 December and at the end of December. Nightmare for those planning to fly to the UK just before Christmas. I'm sure some pay demands are more justified than others but there is clear coordination between the various unions with the aim of causing mass disruption to the public around Christmas. If current inflation of 11% is transitory and returns to normal by the end of next year surely a more appropriate solution is to offer a temporary pay rise or income supplement until inflation comes down? I don't see why the taxpayer should fund 11% pay rises when inflation might be down to 3 or 4% this time next year. Agreeing to inflationary pay rises will just keep inflation high. [/QUOTE]
