Would you go on strike for the benefits of private workers to ensure they had appropriate working conditions if you were aware that they didn't have any method of striking for themselves?

Just asking...

I like to think that, were I a public sector worker, that I would.

As a private sector worker, unprotected by a union, I can't go on strike.  I think that the lack of legal recourse available to private sector employees is astonishing for a society as ostensibly "free" as ours.

Precisely, and my question was hypothetical ofcourse with you being a private sector worker.

We still await Mr Public sector to put in a virtuous and justified appearance.

That being the case, I would say this:

If ALL else failed, then yes, I would support a general strike of private sector workers.  For instance, if Wal Mart workers struck, I would be right there in the picket line.

Just because people can't find great jobs doesn't mean that they should be treated as human cattle.

Your words are perfectly crafted.

Original Message Why is it that public sector workers feel the need to remind private sector workers that their job is more important than a private sector job?

They say that without their 'willingness' to do their jobs that the system would collapse however what if there were no checkout girls at the local supermarket? Where would the public sector workers get their food?

What if there were no telephone engineers to fix a phone line? How would public sector workers make a phone call?

What if there were no salesman at the local electronics store? Where would public sector workers buy there TV's, computers and HIFI's?

Literally hundreds of examples can be provided...

Public sector workers don't perform any task of greater importance than 99% of private employees and therefore don't deserve any form of special treatment WHATSOEVER.

Infact, most of these public sector parasites spend their time making life difficult for private sector people.
