Do you support Wednesday's strike?

27 November 2011

On Wednesday, 23 public sector unions will strike over changes to their pensions. This is likely to impact many areas including schools, some NHS operations and passport checks (more info in BBC Q&A). Which of these is closest to your view (if you have more than one job/contract choose the one you spend most time on)

We try to use technology to limit voting to one per person. Occasionally, this may erroneously block a few people's votes (eg, from shared offices). Apologies for that.
