Re. Public sector strikes.I don't think that any of these people are going to suffer....

greatly because of the changes to their pensions. They are just getting upset because their 'cushy' perks are not going to be as 'cushy' anymore if that makes any sense. It like the fire fighters threatening to strike a while back, they would not suffer they were just having their 'cushy' little working patterns and routines taken away.
What do you think?
