Both times the strike was called off late in the day,once by the employer coming to the table once by the workers changing their minds.

What would you do if your employer decided to cut your pay,stop paying sick pay,and cut your breaks?
I've had pay cuts previously, you suck it up and get on with it - then you look for another job with better pay than you're now on. I'm salaried and have insurance to cover sickness etc. I don't get breaks as such, I take five minutes where I can and eat lunch at my desk whilst dealing with admin and emails I didn't get to earlier.
