East Yorkshire civil servants out on strike

“Well they sure aint gonna like this latest budget are they with its further pay freeze?

Is it just coincidence that they struck today or did the officials know something others didn't?”

“This radical right wing government of ideologue millionaires have, one by one, demonised the disabled, the unemployed, ethnic minorities and other vulnerable groups with the sole purpose of lining the pockets of their associates - society's richest 1%.

They appear to have succeeded in doing the same to public sector workers by creating the fable that they are well paid with gold plated pensions and so on. This is nonsense. The increase in pension subscriptions is not to fund pensions it is an exclusive tax levied only on civil servants.

There is no such thing as public sector and private sector workers; this a an artificial distinction created by this government for the purpose of creating jealousy and in fighting to distract attention from their Dickensian ideology.

Where this government leads in industrial relations other employers will quickly follow.”

“These dinosaurs obviously still believe that that council taxpayers should continue to fund their gold plated pensions, crazy or what?
I currently pay 8% of my salary to fund my own private pension, what percentage of their salary do these loonies currently pay?”

“you want to be lucky you have a job there would be thousands would swap with no pension contributions at all....”
