One of Bob Hoskins early films was 'The National Health', made in 1973.
The plot is about 'overworked doctors and nurses doing their best to cope in a depressing and poorly-equipped National Health hospital.'

Probably addressed for next Christmas.Gone quiet with Royal Mail. Have they given up? Suppose they've lost their leverage now Xmas is over.
Had another Xmas card yesterday.
Just to make sure.
I agree.
Somehow, Britons on strike makes me feel that the British are just doing what the British always do when they are ****ed off.
In other other countries there would be windows being broken, mad feckers waving their arms in the air hysterically and erecting Guillotines.
I find it quite reassuring that despite mass immigration, things have not really changed.

Whilst I accept those on lower wages need a rise 60K for train drivers seems a very good wage to me.

Exceptions don't make the rule.
apart from a select group of Railworkers who enjoy a decent wage, what do you believe is the average wage for a British Railworker.

Dont understand what you`re saying.
Actually the average wage of a driver with overtime is under £60k. The basic even lower.
Seems a better offer has been made ~8% ??? but the strike isn't just about wages.
Actually I suspect all unions would accept a tapered increase favouring the lower paid.
Different sort of levelling up but all of the strikes have different factors that are not directly pay related. The gov is stuffed on that NHS wise as quick fixes are not possible.LOL Anyway Sunak reckons inflation will fall to 5% next year. Bit odd that is what the OBR forecast as inflation always falls eventually. Prices aren't so simple.
By the way it seems 72,000 hospital beds have gone since this lot came to power. Puts the problem 6,000 flu and covid patients into perspective also those that can't be discharged. Even with the extra beds the front line workers would have to run around more.
Looking at THIS, neither party come out squeaky clean but Labour comes out the worse.

Is it
How much train drivers earn and why Aslef members are striking over pay
Here's why drivers are walking out, how much they are paid and everything else you need to know about the Aslef strike

Yes and the nurses are saying it's not about money, it's about saving the NHS.
So WTF are they demanding a 20% rise?
Surely they are asking for a rise that prevents them falling behind inflation, thus doing the same job but getting poorer?
For some reason, they can't buy food or pay rent with the clap that people like Johnson gave them.
**** off John, 35K average salary and relying on food banks? talk sense man.
