What? Then asking well paid public sector workers who have a secure job and a lovely pension to take a small pay-cut?

Absolutely not. Security is all in a recession. The public sector has it, the private doesn't. Therefore, the public sector should take the hit elsewhere.

Of course, craven FF will do anything rather than annoy their masters in SIPTU, so I'm sure tax increases for suffering private sector workers are inevitable
