My Dad worked for BT for 32 years, in the main office in Manchester. He went out on strike for ages....it took my folks years to recover from the financial mess it put them in (my mum worked for Royal Mail and they were intermittent striking whilst my dad was out too). At a time when everyone is feeling the pinch with cost of living rises, coming out on strike is a risky move for the Unions. Too long with no pay will soon lose support
