All these strikes getting you down? Maybe there is a better way.......

With the latest strike action now over in London, more people are as annoyed as ever. With Four tube strikes, two fire strikes and countless BA strikes in just the last 6 months. Does anyone else feel like they are being held to ransom by the unions? or is it just me?

If only my union agreed with me about my need for higher pay, lesser hours, and the new extension to my house. Which might I add includes the indoor swimming pool I feel I deserve, then maybe, just maybe I'd be on strike too!! As I don't think that will happen in this lifetime, then I will stick to my moral upbringing and go to work everyday as I'm suppose to. Feeling under appreciated and overworked as normal, while exercising my English born right to moan and complain about it as regularly as I see fit.

Now I'm not saying that the parties involved don't have a valid argument.  But is striking really the answer in today's climate? I don't have the answers, and I'm sure your all informed about the pros and cons of the strike actions by now, and I'm sure you have formed your own individual opinions.

I must say I am pleased that that the powers-that-may-be aren't rolling over and letting the unions dictate conditions. I do however wonder where this will end?? With more longer strikes planned on the tubes, and  talks with the BA and the Fire Fighters unions still pending, it's hard to see an end in sight. 

Maybe it won't end? and maybe we need a stalemate to occur so we can start thinking of better ways to settle our disputes. I mean has anyone thought about drawing cards? Highest card wins! How about some kind of race or challenge?? Or maybe we should both put both leader of the opposing parties in a cage to fight it out old skool styley! We could even make it a pay per view? We could plough the money back into the financial black hole that is our education system, and the NHS. 

I'd pay to watch that. Would you???
