750,000 members of this union will be out on June 30th and beyond, just to try and address a balance to the teacher bashing threads.

Does that include job centre staff? They seem to strike often. To be fair, its a shit job and I wouldn't want to do it.

Perhaps now you've posted in AIBU, there will be a bit more interest than in the previous thread (I felt rather lonely that no-one wanted to talk to me there

Most people will be more affected by the teachers striking though so they get more of the attention. Most families won't be affected by coastguards going on strike, they will be affected by the local school being closed and having to find childcare for the day.

I'm in support of the strikes by the way, but just think that its the nature of the thing that the schools striking will get more publicity. I mean, who really cares if defence maintenance and support people don't work one day??

But those other wones don't cause an inconvience for the parents, hence they aren;t really that bother - imo anyway.

Thank you, Norfolk.... very reasonable -
