Our salaries do not compensate for our diminished quality of life!

But what worries me most is the lack of concern among young people. I recently went to a Union meeting at Cardiff where I must have been one of the two youngest people in the room (and I am almost 32). Most people were in their late fifties. Now I understand that people nearing pension age are terribly concerned, but surely young people should be up in arms. I guess the best form of industrial action would be for us to work our 35-hour week for a few weeks and no more. By the way, that would give me a chance to relax in the evening and spend a full week-end with my son.
