The public do not seem to support the strikes

The public seem to have low support for the strikes. It is interesting today to read an article about the claims well paid people are using food banks. Often I like to read the comments section. Often you get people giving different views. While the left claim the daily mail is right wing I often notice many left wing people post in the comments section. So I often find almost half the comments are from left wing people. But this article was unusual in the fact that almost ALL the comments were not supporting the unions claims about food banks. As I have often said as a student nurse we were told never strike and never talk of going on strike as the public will turn against you. And clearly the respect for nurses is going fast. The feeling one gets is support for the strikes is not around. The only ones who seem to support the strikes are left wing middle class people who in truth will not be affected much if at all by the strikes. While real people will find they end up unemployed as businesses go bust because people cannot travel. Children miss out on education. And people cannot get to hospital. Rather than bring the government down as one suspects that was the real aim of the unions, one suspects that it will keep the conservatives in power longer as the public will be angry at Labour for supporting the strikes. Putting the unions first before the public (as Labour get a lot of money from unions).
