I am 60 now and had a hard working life, and would love to take things easy, l can't as we are no longer capable of having the luxuries.

The pension saga has been started by this government, and doctors etc have the same rights as us and that is to strike.

It was noted that the police would love to strike.

Doctors etc work long hours and l for one would not like to be one.
