Cuts Social Sector

Summary:
A co-ordinated strike is a possible threat due to the government treating public sector workers as “devils”. This is a result in cuts being made in their budgets. A two-year public sector pay freeze for six million workers and a thirty-two billion cut in the welfare sector. If the workers have confidence and work together, anything is possible. The biggest support for the strike comes from the private sector, from British Airways cabin crew to fuel truck drivers. All unions should work together to oppose the cuts.

Opinion:
I think it is great that people stand up for themselves when they feel that their government does them wrong. Especially the social sector which is, in my eyes, more focused on helping people then it is on earning money. Cuts should not be made in this sector, you can get more money from the bigger and richer companies anyway, so why not make cuts on them? I think this has to do with the general influence and power these big companies have due to their access to vast sums of money. I sincerely hope that it will not have to come to a strike, but if it does go that far, the government got what they deserved.
