Public sector workers seem to be the scum of the earth as far as most posts on this thread are concerned. Trying to protect terms and conditions and hold on to a pension makes them thieving barstewards?
Teachers, Police, fire service, health workers, social workers, refuse collectors, street sweepers, etc turn up to work where nobody else will and deserve decent terms and conditions for SERVING the public. We are all the public no matter what our job is.
Would you support a thread that said "Greedy bankers should be shot?" As far as I'm concerned they have more to answer for than the tea lady at the local town hall.
Sadly the teachers strike won't change a thing, we are back to the 80's and Cameron seems intent on finishing off the job that Thatcher started.
