Strike on 30th June

[urmston]

The best way to summarise the public sector workers pension demands is

'We want to pay less in but we want a lot more out'.

 

[kronkonite]

we want a decent pension for all

especially for those who do work of greater social value

like teachers and street cleaners -for every pound these people earn they provide £11 worth of social value

For every £1 a banker or a financier earns they cost society £11

Where did you get those absurd and conveniently symmetrical figures?

Pravda? The Socialist Worker? Or some bloke you met down the pub?

Please can no one reply to BB2 as he us just an attention seeking whore who is obviously unhappy in his own life. To judge all public sector staff as he has shows a distinct lack of intelligence and knowledge. I think the general rule on BM is that he is an idiot anyhow.

My CV and headhunters may well disagree. Weak.

Good to see you're not generalising as only a halfwit would do that.

My brother and mother both work in the public sector and they both work longer hours than pretty much anyone I know in the private sector.

Just because the public sector (and pensions) need reforming doesn't mean that we can function as a civilised society without one.

As for the 'real world' what exactly is that? I bet you wouldn't survive five minutes in the industries I've worked in, especially as the first pre-requisite was engaging with people and having a personality.

My CV and headhunters may well disagree. Weak.

Your CV? Anyone can create a work of fiction. A bit like your persona.

And headhunters? What is this? 1988?

You could not walk a mile in my size tens sonny jim.

You absolute IDIOT, nothing more to say to you after such a crass comment, you have been 'foed' and banished to the darkest depths of my memory.

every fourth post on this topic is sensible

working class hatred by selfish tax dodging buffons to follow:

Wow what a fantasy world you must live in! So a banker earns £500,000 a year he contributes £250,000 of that in tax and at the end has a private pension probably never using state benefits since they were 21

 

[without a dream]

I don't think the teachers pensions would be costing much at all if successive governments hadn't kept skimming off the pot, they've every right to be going on strike about a change in contract that hasn't seen the slightest bit of consultation. Irrespective of that though, the government have done an excellent job of setting the public/private sectors against each other, divide and conquer.
