If the UK civil servants who work in Job centres are striking over pay, the irony is that they expect Universal credit claimants to take jobs at the lowest wage. If the National living wage is good enough for those claiming UC, then it is good enough for these civil servants, the truth is, Living wage is not enough for a lot of people, couple that with low number of hours or zero hour contracts and workers are just struggling.
@hasmis I am not sure what is going on in France, so can't really comment, I was just commenting on the UK.
The French used to be far more vocal on issues anyway, but IIRC they are raising the retirement age
@zleap So, who's sillier? UK or France?
