I do, and have done a LOT of work with the public sector at my old job which was private sector.
As for the strikes...I don't know. I can see both sides. The new deal being proposed still seems pretty generous, more generous than a lot of private sector workers would get. And there's a massive deficit in the pension schemes which needs plugging somehow. That said, I can understand people who have been working in the public sector for years being miffed that the scheme they signed up to is suddenly being changed and the pension they were due to get isn't there any more.
