So they're not getting rich at it.

How's that salary grab everyone on here? I've been told the average income in ni is around £21,000, but this is bound to vary wildly even from month to month. Minimum wage is around £12,000.

There was a thread here a few months ago on this topic. What do people on here consider a good income these days?

Thanks Steveymp, rang them this afternoon before checking back here and they confirmed appt was still on. Have no problem with their right to strike and why they're doing it, just didn't want a wasted journey and hassle of organising unnecessary childcare

My daughter had a scan appointment for 1pm at Ulster Hospital Maternity Unit today. The place was absolutely choc-o-bloc with people and my daughter did not get away until 4.45pm, so the strike definitely did have an affect on the wrong people! :mad:
