To some extent i agree martyh but Boris in London did promise to negotiate a no stirke agreement but has not done so with the tube drivers,are they paid over the odds its hard to know that unless a comparison is made with similar workers with respect.
Are there any private sector companies offering staff incentives i wonder its hard to konw as if there are its not been well publicised.

With respect Derek in the past the police have done rather well and deservedly so no argument there,but the time is coming that the police will need a robust defender maybe not to threaten industrial action but to defend terms and conditons.
All public sector workers make no mistake will be under the cosh.
