Ali Fortescue reports.

以下是 Ali Fortescue 的報導。

It's hard to list the sectors, the range of workers walking out.

I couldn't do my job safely.

我無法安全地工作。

Hard, too, to hear stories like Katie's.

聽到跟 Katie 一樣的故事也很難受。

I'm definitely working more, I'm being more mindful of my spending to make ends meet for sure.

我無疑投入更多工時、更注意我的開支以確保收支兩平。

I have colleagues that are using food banks.

我有同事已經在用食物銀行。

I have had colleagues, you know, tell their children that they don't think that Christmas is going to be a particularly great Christmas for them than this year.

我也有些同事告訴他們的子女，他們不認為今年的聖誕節對他們來說會太好過。

I actually feel, in a way, fortunate that I don't have children that I have to say that to.

我其實在某種程度上感到幸運，因為我沒有子女，不需要對他們這麼說。

And it's not just nurses.

這不僅限於護理人員。

This was the Home Secretary's response today to the latest action called by Border Force.

這是內政大臣今天對邊境管理局訴求行動的回應。

We've got plans in place that will involve, to a degree, bringing in some of our military colleagues to help us in a variety of roles.

我們已經制定計劃，將在某種程度上引入軍事同仁，在各種崗位上協助我們。

And we want to⏤I mean, ultimately, you know, I'm not willing to compromise on security at the border.

我們想要——最終來說，我不願意犧牲邊境安全。

And as train workers prepare to strike, too, the PM has talked about tougher anti-strike laws to stop the whole country (from) grinding to a halt.

隨著鐵路人員準備開始罷工，首相也宣布將有更嚴格的反罷工條款，以避免全國被迫停擺。

Could we see the government increasing the threshold for strikes?

我們是否會看到政府提高罷工門檻？

Make sure that more notice needs to be given.

確保需要要更早給予通知。

There's plenty of options for legislation; it's something that's been looked at for a long time.

立法有很多選擇，這是被關注很久的議題。

Something that Boris Johnson and Liz Truss were looking at, but it will take months to work.

這是鮑里斯·強森和莉茲·特拉斯都在研討的議題，但要數個月才能奏效。

It won't keep trains moving and sectors working in the short term.

And any constructive tone between the government and the unions last week turned to confrontation this week.

上週政府和工會之間任何建設性基調都在本週變成了爭執。

Do you accept that, for a lot of people, you've become the face of winter disruption misery for a lot of people over Christmas?

Well, our message is, we're really sorry for the disruption; we don't want that to happen.

We want Mark Harper and the government to be a facilitator for a settlement rather than an obstacle to it, and that's got to change.

Labor aren't offering inflation-busting pay rises; Lisa Nandy said that would be unaffordable.

工黨並未提出了打破通貨膨脹的加薪，麗莎·南迪說那是負擔不起的。

You're waiting for inflation to come down, like the conservatives, aren't you?

你們跟保守黨一樣，在等待通貨膨脹率下降，是嗎？

One of the reasons why nurses, NHS workers, people who work on our railways are taking industrial action is, of course, as you say,

護士、國民保健員工、鐵路人員採取工業行動的原因之一，當然是正如你所說的，

because we've got the highest inflation in 40 years, the highest tax burden in 70 years, and energy bills going through the roofs.
