I think they should be allowed to strike - it's not an ideal situation, but then they are being shafted by the government.

I do find it funny though - the language that is being used - all members of the force being balloted to vote to see if they will 'ignore' the law that makes it illegal for them to strike.

Wonder if that will work as a defence - 'Yes, I'm aware I was doing 40 in a 30 zone, but I've chosen to ignore that law'.
