Charlotte Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 That's a good idea, you then get a few days off work each year by going on strike to complain that you still aren't getting paid enough money They don't get paid for those days off though do they?

Sounds by the story that she had a bit of a hard time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 You seemed to be questioning the fact that soldiers were being paid far less for their service injuries than courts were awarding in other cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I wasn't questioning it, I just didn't have full facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 People seem to be confusing accepted risk with unacceptable treatment. As much as I respect soldiers (who do a job I couldn't), being wounded whilst fighting in a war is a risk of the job - one that you accept when you sign up. Suffering sexual harrassment isn't part of the job and shouldn't happen under any circumstances. Yes, it sucks that not everyone gets the same compensation, but that's because it's tailored to the individual circumstances, it's not a competition.
