All Emergency (Police,Fire,Ambulance,Coastguard etc) and essential service workers (like Tube drivers,Power station workers etc..) should be bound by strict No strike agreements BUT should have reasonable inflationary pay rises and good early pensions.
No quibble, no fuss this should be strictly controlled and regulated by ALL governments and NOT tampered with. If you then go into these professions then you know the score before you join.

Police officers can't strike, just imagime if they could... And those guys who run into burning buildings! if they want to strike they should be shot.

I am persuaded that the eseential services likely should not be able to call for and take all out strike action.
However that being so, they are essential services and therefore should be treated as same with good employment rights and set wages and wage increases. What I find astounding is that this Govt. led by the Conservatives who in the main were seen as the champions of the essential services has reached a point of so much unrest with the Police, Firemen and Prison Officers. It does seem that these essential services have little liking for, or indeed even any trust, in this Govt. at all. |

I don't agree with striking though, not at all, and certainly not by people who hold lives in their hands. The public are generally behind the emergency services, but it would take only one death, one disaster unattended due to industrial action, and they'd turn from heroes to zeroes overnight. |

Yup, all governments appear to undervalue the emergency services tbh. IMO we should do everything we can to keep them sweet, the country would be screwed without them.

I totally disagree, as seen recently the ambulance service were unable to save the life of a man due to the reduction of frontline staff. The public are beginning to see the dismantling of the NHS and other first responders, it's becoming apparent to everyone the consequences of cutting pay and resources.
