Re: Public Sector Pay Cuts
we in the forces have been told we have a pay freeze for 2 years, and its for all public sector, the only ones that arent having their wages froze are those below 21k who should expect a min of 250 pay rise

I feel for you - we've got the same our department through restructure and budget cuts has been cut from 122 to 4 people. the rest of us are still waiting to get the letter to say thanks but no thanks. YET the cllrs and MP's and MSP's all want us, neigh demand, that we still provide the same level of service and demand that their consitutient is more imprtant than anyone else and do not realise that we cannot fit them in to discuss their problems about neighbours wheelie bins. but hey I don't expect any different and Tim our pay is nowhere near the same as private - unless you are up at head/director level. I deal with a budget of over £150k and the dustmen get paid more than me. |
Re: Public Sector Pay Cuts
If there is a definite need for cuts, and it may well be the case in an effort to recover from the recession, I'd have thought a sliding scale would be fairer, i.e. 10% up to say 25% depending on salary.
That said, if this is purely to salvage the economy I'd rather see it as a tax increase so that everyone contributes towards the recovery. But we can't have it both ways, i.e. the Govt rides in and saves the world won't come as a freebie. We've got to pay for that recovery. |

But if we're going to get into a debate on pensions maybe there is a need to end the final salary schemes that are costing so much. |
