THERE is nothing like a strike by council workers for us all to sit up and notice the great, essential and useful jobs that they do. From collecting our rubbish to cleaning and looking after our schools, to looking after our elderly and housebound - they are never fully appreciated or rewarded by us. These workers on low wages are going to be the hardest hit by the credit crunch Credit Crunch An economic condition whereby investment capital is difficult to obtain. Banks and investors become weary of lending funds to corporations thereby driving up the price of debt products for borrowers. . With food prices and fuel rises, margins are tight all the time for these workers. They are not moaning moan n. 1. a. A low, sustained, mournful cry, usually indicative of sorrow or pain. b. A similar sound: the eerie moan of the night wind. 2. Lamentation. v. because they now have two instead of three foreign holidays, or worrying that their pounds 400,000 house isn't rising in value the way it was. These are workers who deserve a decent wage and I hope the councils around the country make them a priority. |
