Of course there are exceptions and some areas of the public sector are underpaid in comparison to others that are overpaid. However, the public sector has seen a huge rise in pay under Labour with no trade-off in terms of reduced job security. In fact, they've never had it so good.
Do people in the private sector really take paycuts?
Isnt getting 2.45% wage rise when inflation is above 3% a pay cut?
How much have public sector employees gotten under Labour? (but are council employes not under the councils, and not under the state, and so does really Labour holds any power/influence on the setting on wages?)
