There will be a general strike over this, and l for one will seriously consider on strike with my fellow colleagues.
WHY do the government always pick on the public sector.
Does the the chancellor have a heart. |
I think you have this the wrong way around.
At the moment a teacher for example, gets paid the same in Newcastle or Bedford, although the cost of living is far higher in Bedford. The government want to lower the pay in Newcastle to bring it in line with the cost of living there.
The only place where earnings are above the national level is in London with the London Waiting. And the fringe London Waiting in couties around London. However even this varies between different jobs at the moment.

And in other areas public sector workers are paid far less than private. But I bet they wouldn't increase their pay.
