Letter: Teachers should not go on strike

Letter: I would like to join the rest of the population in expressing my disgust at teachers striking.

Teachers obviously think that they should be immune from the situation that a government they supported brought the nation to.

They obviously feel the children are a useful tool to blackmail parents into supporting their demands that the rest of the nation should fund their overly generous pensions.

I resent the fact that I work seven days a week to pay for their pensions while being unable to afford a pension of any kind myself due to high taxes.

Teachers and all other so-called public servants need to join the real world. If you want a generous pension then purchase one and pay for it like the rest of us.

You can strike until the cows come home as far as I am concerned and I hope the Government stands firm because if it does not then they will suffer at the ballot box.
