Ready For The Strikes Tomorrow?
Discussion
Are we all ready for the strikes tomorrow? I’ll be working from home (that PIGS are going bust thread needs updating after all), don’t have kids, don’t sponge benefits and I can’t afford to go on holiday.
I doubt I’ll notice at all, apart from the evening news being full of (different?) well-pensioned moaning morons. I bet most of the 'millions' on strike won't even give us the amusement of picketing so I can laugh at them standing in the rain. How about you?

Is anybody expecting/are there any planned marches/protests (in the City specifically?)
Nobody at work actually knows what to expect tomorrow. Luckily I can walk into the office, so don't think it will have much impact on me.
Just hoping they don't turn the place into a police state ala the last student march.

A quick Google reveals that they've organised rallies all over the place - see here. As usual, I expect they'll smash things up then blame it on mysterious 'militants' who we never otherwise hear from.
Public sector worker, not striking. Taken quite a bit of flak from colleagues but it doesn't bother me one bit, I voted against the strike and would consider myself hypocritical if I did. I probably shouldn't be in the union tbf.
I've come across a lot of people who can't think for themselves this week unfortunately, "My dad always went on strike so I have to" etc.

The commute should definitley be quieter in the morning.
I work in the public sector and quite a few people have taken annual leave tomorrow - prsumably because they want to strike but don't actually want to strike because they think it would look bad to the management etc - so there will possibly be even more people off work tomorrow than the ones just tsriking and those staying at home parents.
There will be quite a few rallies. My employer has multipel offices but the rallies will be happening in town centres not outside offices.

Im properly the only one who has to go back to work tommorrow because of the strikes reallt annoyinng me.
BTW im in colege this week one of the blocks for my aprrentership so as the college is shut ive got to go back to work for 1 day. Almost every lecturer from the motor vehicle department will be doing something else bar striking and that includes my mother who works in the public sector who voted against it is going down cardiff shopping.
