i think many who support the strikers see the tweet/blog linked above as a typical public sector worker with valid claims/reasons to strike....
my argument is that I think actually most private sector workers reading her "JUST 4 weeks holiday (in the summer, she gets other half terms too! - not to mention government funded pension) would LOVE to have her conditions, guaranteed......
I think IF her tweet was looking for sympathy, then its totally backfired with most private sector workers.....
most will read it and think "welcome to the real world!!!!"
like I say, I believe in their right to strike, but think they've done it at the wrong time (negotiations still underway) AND the strike has hit/affected most people (many in the private sector) and not the government....
no wonder support is now completely divided!!!
