More than a million public sector workers could soon be asked if they want to go on strike over pay.
Numerous ballots have already begun, prompting questions about whether a winter of industrial action is on the horizon.
In this special report, Sky’s Nick Martin meets a nurse, a teacher and a firefighter to hear their cases on why they should get an increase in pay.

just put the cap back on energy price rises the greedy energy suppliers are making millions in profit ,im only on 23 thou a year its immposible to live
These people wanted us to stay at home and take hand outs. Now they are complaining about the cost of living.. And they are still earning more than average. Time to disband the NHS.
Everyone shown in this video earn 35 grand a year plus. What about the people such as myself who work minimum wage full time?? I'm absolutely drowning in debt too which is now getting worse.
Sky do seem to be interviewing people who are not actually on a truly low salary – there are many more on lower pay who will be struggling far more and having to make even greater sacrifices. Of course we value public sector workers but there are no more hard done by than anyone else. We are all feeling the effects of inflation and it will get worse before it gets better. I agree with those that say there are just some who just don’t exercise sensible financial management and then complain about it! We all want more money and prices are obviously rising out of control but we do also have to take responsibility ourselves of what we earn and making sure that some is set aside for rainy days like these rather than living beyond our means in the good times and then expecting to be able to do the same in the bad times. Let’s just hope the bad times don’t last for too long!
Why don't they interview people who work full time with 10k a year especially care workers who go home to home and the care agency's don't pay their fuel
I support anyone who strikes and I do hope that they emergency services do strike soon too, perhaps then the parasite of a government will listen.
35k a year IS NOT POOR wtf
I got 0% payrise and they got 4%. Why can't they get off their whinny arses
The main Problem here is that Russia can Defend itself from Western Corporations because It has A Powerful Millitary Armed to the teeth backed up by Hypersonic Nuclear Weapons! That's the Problem!
We are doomed rich gets richer poor gets poorer the way it is we might aswell starve to death and that's what I've been doing drinking milkshakes rather than eating
I earn 11k a year lol I got no hope
The inflation issue is mostly being caused by companies knowing that they can charge more. Economists are confirming this. The businesses are admitting to this in their quarterly earnings calls. The inflation crisis is not being caused by a nurse being paid too much. It's scandalous to blame the unions.
A lot of people earn about 20K per year from a full time job. Hospitality sector, warehouse operators, etc. No unions and 0% pay rise. No hope as well, still survivng

I’m going to get employment and agree a wage and start work. Then. I’m going to go on strike about the pay I agreed to work for.
Useless governments! Greedy and stupid, over-regulate in favor of big corps, keep up the good work boys see where will land us in 10-20 years, i guess the only survivors will be the governments guys and big corp boys so the can regulate each other and themselves. 👍
The countrybis skint but yeah lets strike and make things ten times worse, we are all in the same boat but some of us just try and get through it
im an assy worked i get £380 a week my house was payed for 3 years ago and can live quite well on £380 a week i wish i got 35k a year like the nhs workers thats like £600 a week
katy is way to smart not good for her own
Truss, God help us all
Douma will vote for Ukrania to be considerated as a terroriste state soon. Consequences if Germany & England still help Ukrainia they wont be supplied with gaz!.
Neither wages, or tax will solve the, problems. The cost of living increase and the hike in interest rates it brought about is, all the effect if the sanctions. Deal with them and problem solved.
People, keep on forgetting ng the hike in those interest rates, addibg to cost of servicing debt personal commercial and national. Abd the talk of wage increases.
Don't know where that nurse on 36k lives, but she'd be described as well off where I am.
To think people actually voted for this even tho they were warned , Thinking it would be better for working people under the Torys !!!!! Corbyn was no way the best leader but x10 better than bojo . From the 4 different lockdowns to allowing electric companies to bump their prices up by 100% it's end times for some ppl
NHS wages are pathetic
We need to take land back put.in community run farms in locally. create more. Free and cheap food resources, there empty land every where, and ignore the law in mass. Put up wind turbines voluntary and look at local things we can do to reduce costs of living. Over ride the government by just doing it and not comply same with free camping . Just override the current system
Teachers, firefighters and healthcare workers, absolutely! Rail workers…hmmm, I lived in the uk for years and have some very unpleasant memories of those entitled and arrogant jobsworths. Some of the most breathtaking acts of unprofessional behavior I’ve ever seen.
Repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results.
32000 a year i wish i got even quarter of that
Brutal! Here in Ontario, nurses, teachers, police and firefighters make a very good wage. These are occupations that should be paid well.
Get back to work ha ha
This is insulting. 35k for only 3 days per week work. She should get a second job!
"these militant unions"…..hope she remembers that when she needs to use holiday pay or whatever, what the unions fought for to be law…Dizzy Lizzy
People on good wages complaining about money ffs try being unemployed and having to live on 74 quid a week, while trying to pay electric, gas, rent and buy food, it's impossible.
We won't put up with another crisis.The politicians need to listen or prepare for consequences.
11:46, please forgive my ignorance. Give up her job? Why is that even a consideration?
As an American, i alone before tax, converted to pounds make 93.2k pounds. What is the average UK citizen salary? Where would i fit in the scale? Could i live comfortably alone in London? Thanks!
