Why I am striking
A St Mungos worker gives personal reasons for supporting the strike here "At some point we have to be brave enough to say stop. Enough is enough. We cannot keep cutting and cutting and hoping that despite that our clients will stop dying. At some point we have to take the cogs out of the machine. I hope you will join us in that."
