The numbers employed by the state will decline in line with general activity. Embargos have been in palce for over a year now and many many workers employed by the state have lost their jobs.
Again you would have us believe that all workers not emloyed by the state are presently taking a hit, that is untrue so if you want workers to take a 20% reduction in pay, than that should apply across the board and the best way to achieve that equity is to apply increases in taxation on all, repeat all incomes. |
oh ffs, how do you beleive that all workers not emplyed by the state are taking a hit ?
The majority of workers working for companies that have seen severe declines in revenue are I would say taking a hit. Any company that has seen its incommings fall below its outogings has geneally either cut staff or wages. The PS employer (the state) is in this postion, and must cut staff and/or wages. Simple fact, and it goes beyond a simple embargo or head freeze, it must be actual pay cuts and redundancies.
