Public sector pay rise demands unreasonable?

I’m a nurse and outraged that we’ll only be getting (most likely) a 3% wage increase. I’m fully in favour of a strike action. But I’ve also just read that the junior doctors are planning a strike if they aren’t awarded a 22% increase 😮

We have all been losing wages year on year but 22% seems unrealistic. AIBU or have they got brilliant bargaining tactics?

Private sector workers aren't afforded that entitlement.

This isn't true.

i am still in a union as a retired member. Both DH and I stayed in on the grounds that who would be there to speak up for us? Certainly not the current Government. BTW, despite being a union member for my working life, I have never been on strike.
