a pay rise #1 (permalink) Wed Feb 15, 2012 17:34 pm   a pay rise
 

Hello!
The sentences: 'The workers will go on strike if they don't get a pay rise.'
or 'The workers will go on strike unless they get a pay rise.' are both correct?
Thank you for your time and support!

If the thread starter is speaking/writing to Americans, it is a good idea to use American terms.
