They will never get all they want but hopefully some sort of compromise can be reached.As the union boss said if a 2 day strike costs the country 200 million,then his members are worth more than is being offered.
I think if the current government had tried to instigate "clapping for the NHS" it would never have got off the ground. I thought it was started by an individual and lead by the media. It took off and "Governemtn2 had no option but to go along with the gesture.
