Why do young people think the word strike is a dirty word ?

They need to pick up some good history books instead of slagging the postal workers off who want better treatment by management. Its younger people who fecked up the economy in banks taking far too many risks In my opinion and they are greedy self centred :ggngngf: .

Strike is a dirty word for baseball batters

Many young people were born and raised whilst Thatcher was in power.
Her, "Ime all right, Jack" attitude. brainwashed a lot of this country, IMO.
The working classes, and unions, were treated with disdain.
Her Government brought to its knees, one of the most powerful unions in the Country.

The last resort is to strike. It can split communities. But sometimess its the only way to get a fair deal.
And EVERYONE is entitled to a fair deal.

its on the jeremy vine show on bbc r 2 people moaning about striking.
Old you are not 27

You are bang on the money there.

I dont know how it is there but hereI could do without the postal service..they do nothing for me except stuff my mailbox with trash.
I cant make them stop.

and

they have a plumb of a job...excellent benefits and pay for little or no education. full retirement after 20 years etc.

I wouldnt be sorry if they shut the whole postal service down...that said theres a neighbor of mine who is a postman and I hope he isnt reading this!
