In view of the fact that I am a Life Member of a Trade Union ----- I intend to spend the entire day of the forthcoming Strike ------- in bed !!
This is, of course ----"Solidarity"
I once remember an old, and experienced Shop-steward, remarking to me "If you go on strike -- remember -- you have only one bullet in the gun --- and no chance to re-load !"
I have always respected his wisdom -- I wish there was more of it about !
I feel smug re: the tube strikes as I can get the boat to work
I'm also a union member, but my place of work isn't going on strike (it would be a bit...ironic)

This week's strikes could be interesting - with one of the largest Public Sector unions not going on strike. Certainly the feeling within parts of the Public Sector is one of extreme anger at HMG's high handed approach to negotiations which are still ( or were) ongoing.

56 years old, pretending he is young, sitting on the toilet = heart attack to me.
