Barristers to go on strike?

Re: Barristers to go on strike?

It also pays for all the pro bono work we do.

Total income of all UK barristers cross referenced to the value of pro bono work done?

... but anyone who thinks that being a barrister is "easy money" clearly isn't a barrister and doesn't know any.

I have dealt with several, and had good reason to despise all of them. Naked greed and incompetence being but two.

You are using the same argument any "employer" uses to cut "wages" - they earn too much anyway. It doesn't hold no matter what income people can earn. If they are earning it they are earning it. Driving down "wages", whoevers wages you are driving down, has adverse consequences. I am suprised at you for supporting such a notion. So much for your moral highground!

This is the socialist mentality of the 1970's. If I decide that I am worth £1m a week, then I am, and if I don't get it, I've been robbed. All out, brothers!

So you judge everybody by a couple of people you have met? What a sad outlook on life. Please do let me know what you do for a living so that I can judge all of them by the same measure.

On the other hand, it's a random selection and a 100% fail rate.
