Though I do have to say again that this strike was not about pay rates.

What can be forgotten too is the fact that some people on minimum wage will get additional money in the way of Rent/Council tax rebates etc.
How much does it cost the country to supplement the minimum wage?
I would suggest that £9.50 per hour is not being greedy.
Just to ask, the news says, or mentions, that it is about pay and other things.
So why are you saying it is not about pay rates?
