No one should be able to strike because everyone should be payed enough money… especially keyworkers. They helped us ALL through lockdown… NHS and Doctors going on strike would lead into a disaster. Especially in lockdown. In lockdown half the people might of died.

They have the right to strike

Teachers and nurses should be allowed to strike to show an opinion

I think they should because they are key to our society so deserve a pay rise. There is the concern that there may be major issues if they go on strike but they shouldn't have to in the first place! They should be given fair pay. It's not right that key workers are having to make this tough decision.

I am saying yes because it is legal to go on strike and there is no reason to stop them.

I believe everyone should have the right to protest if they are being treated unfairly or underpaid. However, if they are key workers like nurses or teachers, this shouldn’t have an impact on their work. I think they should use other ways of getting their message across, that doesn’t affect the people in need who they provide services for.

I’m sorry, but no! We need these people so much and if they went on strike we would be in a bit of trouble! Also, if teachers went on strike, who would teach? Then we would have an uneducated population!

I do not think that the NHS should strike. My mum works as a gyneacologist and in the medical system there already is a lot of pressure on the remaining staff due to Royal College of Nursing strikes. If all doctors go on strike there will be a collapse of the medical system and people will lose trust in the government. Also, with the Strep-A outbreak there will not be support for children with life threatening diseases when they need it.

Also my mum teaches students and my school might be shutting down anyway due to Strep-A.

I don’t think they should, because doctors already have a pretty high pay, and if they strike, especially with the new Strep A disease, lots of people could die. The NHS is already collapsing.

100% yes, key worker's pay is terrible, and they should be able to strike, because then the press will take attention to it, and it will be easier for them to get fairer pay.

I'm completely against the idea for strikes. Everyone is struggling at the moment, not just them, but you don't see vicars going on strike, or lawyers! Personally, I think it's a bit selfish, kids need teaching, mail needs delivering, nothings going to happen if they start going on strike. In fact, imagine if the whole world went on strike, it would be chaos!!!

It is their right but I would still say no because it can cost lives!!

They should be able to strike. Even though they are key workers, it is not their fault if they are not being payed enough money. It is a big problem, but it isn't them who are making it.

I do not think that they should be able to strike as if they went on strike lots of schools would be shut down and that can affect some children's education and the social side of school.

Everyone should have a right to strike if they feel that they are not being payed enough for their important job and the change they make in the world.

Strike action is the last resort, because it's a powerful way to drive a positive change. Nurses are leaving the professional at a high rate, due to low pay and staff shortages that force them to work long hours.

There are train 🚊 strikes and bus 🚌 strikes so why can’t there be other strikes?

I’m not comfortable about the idea because with nurses, if someone fell sick no one would be there to help them.
I’m sorry but no, we need those people to live.

They can strike because they are just normal people and they have the right to strike.
It’s no different to anybody else.

I dont think they should be allowed to strike, as they should be getting payed enough money and not need to.

No! they do not have a right to strike.

defo should be allowed to strike they are crucial to our society yet are being exploited they have valid reasons for striking
