Why should they? We're not in China or Russia, they have a legal right to protest or strikeOriginally Posted by Michael Parnham
You think you could do a fireman's job at 60 ?
Everyone is different at 60 Joe, yes I think I would have been ok at 60 can't speak for anyone else. Regarding strikes and unions always hated both, unions only brainwash you to go on strike and lose money you will never get back and when you are back at work if your job's still available nothing has really changed apart from heartache your family has gone through because of no money coming in.Why should they?

Just my opinion Joe!
And you're entitled to your opinion Michael
My misses has seen a number of firemen and they all suffer problems with their back,
You think at 60 yrs old you could carry someone down a ladder wearing 70 pounds of gear ?

With all your union knowledge I'm surprised you're naive enough to think that all firemen have to run up and down ladders. I'm sure you'll come up with some irrelevant fact to counter my argument, but surely there are administrative jobs in the fire service that those who were too old or physically unable to run up and down ladders could do
Drive, inspect equipment, train the newbies

Why not the same for the police, the armed forces ??Have you ever heard of the saying, "Too many chiefs, not enough Indians"? Next, Dedworth will be saying too many pen pushers not enough firemen

NO! These things don't happen overnight. What I'm saying is that those who are physically unable to do the job they applied for and wanted - and maybe had been doing perfectly well for 30 years - could be sidetracked into an admin role rather than say, "that's it, give me my pension", at whatever age it is now. The same as the vast majority of other workers in this country.
