Video for the single "Let's Work Together" by The Workers, a group of public service workers coming together to raise awareness and solidarity ahead of the TUC day of action on pensions justice on 30 November 2011. Download it via www.theworkers.org.uk
They are just workers like you and me. Working all of their life, is it too much to expect a pension at the end of a working life? If you think they have it so good, why don't you join the public sector? or why don't you organise yourselves so you can have a decent pension too, instead of begrudging ours. Why do multinational and large companies managed to pay a minimal amount of tax through by locating themselves in tax heavens.especially establish for the rich.
@angloengland Why do the banks keep their profits when they make them but WE have to pay for their losses. I guess you don't mind paying for the mansions of multimillionaires because you are, even if you don't see it you really, really are. The more they take the less that is left for the us the 99 % . Don't you see we are fighting for the crums under the table while they walk away with the cake. Open your eyes and look a little further than what the media is leading you to.
Local Government funding is 58% from Central Government and only 24% of the cost falls to Council taxpayers. The UK has 25 million households,so the shortfall of £5.9 million works out at £235 per household. 18% of that comes from business rates. So Johnny taxpayer funds just £193 per household,of which 58% is from general taxation and Government borrowing,this leaves £80 from each typical council tac bill.That is 6% of the typical bill.
We just love this video, great message too.

This money is not going to the workers for nothing. Its in return for THEIR LABOUR, which benefits you and me.
Since when public sector workers are the enemy?

@rrrrmm1 I hope you can now see why the private sector has no sympathy for the strikers at all.
