How do you feel about strike action and how is it impacting you?

With the current cost of living crisis and the state of the NHS, including the services they can offer I do understand why strike action is taking place. However living on a extremely limited income, spending most of my time at home I do rely on the post which is not regular at the best of times due to staff shortages in this area. Travel disruption also has a bigger effect on those with limited income, generally I do not use public transport except for hospital appointments as I can't afford the cost. So with strike action on busses even hospital appointments are out of the question as it is too far to walk and the cost of a taxi is simply unthinkable.
