Re: National pay rates may be scrapped for public workers
Maybe he meant "whims", which is appropriate, since most of the postings are, at best, whimsical and full of whimsy.....

Not if you do not explain who the person in the picture is, and what the context of it is in relation to the thread - otherwise it is just a random picture.

Re: National pay rates may be scrapped for public workers
I think the government have caused a problem which will seriously damage the economy and is senseless.
What is the point of scrapping national pay rates, all over the country there are different rates due to the cost of living. In London the cost of living is three times higher than living in the north.
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.

Re: National pay rates may be scrapped for public workers
So how do you suggest that they address this anomaly?

The Treasury says public sector pay in some parts of England and Wales is up to 18% higher than the private sector.

Re: National pay rates may be scrapped for public workers
There is a good way that this can be solved, the government has to deal with taxes first, we pay more tax for everything moveable going in this country, VAT for example, they can lower this, tax on fuel, they can reduce this.
A good mate of mine runs a garage, he pays MORE tax on fuel than anything, this is why garages charge so much for food and beverage, they make no money on fuel, as it is heavily taxed.
Fuel duty can be reduced, All this government is doing is finding a way of hitting the public sector again and again.
I think they have sufferd enough, why doesn't the government reduce some of the luxuries they get.
Sit Richard Branson was asked this question the other day, and he said that the government could scrap the 50p tax and this should start the economy running.

Re: National pay rates may be scrapped for public workers
I hope thats not scrap the 50% income tax rate because thats about as dumb an idea as i have heard for quite a while. This is completely stupid so what we will end up with is lousy people in the cheap areas or good people massively underfunded\paid and stretched to breaking point while in the good areas they get better. What the hell is it with this government they are going around systematically screwing about with everything and the savings on many of their interferences is minimal at best. Never ever thought i would say this but if i had the cash right now i would be out of this country faster then the bullets i used to fire.

Re: National pay rates may be scrapped for public workers
I think scrapping the 50% tax rate is a bad move - use that money instead to raise the basic tax allowance.

It think it would be a bad move because even if ,in the long run,it has the intended result ,at the moment public opinion of government policy is such that doing this would cement the cons as the party for the rich

That's just it, people in certain areas are effectively being paid more because their living costs are less. Public sector employees in certain areas are being very overpaid, compared to Private employees doing the same type of job. Is that fair?

Re: National pay rates may be scrapped for public workers
I once saw a poster that suggested that if the Liberals got into power the country would grind to a halt and no one would be working.
I scoffed at it.
Now I'm not so sure..
