Best wishes to all in the PS who begin their action to halt the abuse by their employer today.

BTW, public is their employer ....

LOL....are they engaging in "self abuse"?

I don’t know will they make exception for their colleagues from public sector or will treat them as ordinary public

The trade unions have really lost all authority.

must....not....crack....********************er jokes.....

Best of luck.

Hopefully the private sector can survive and generate ENOUGH taxes in 2010 to pay for your go-slow.

Keep voting FF. Things will definitely change

The public is everybody's employer. They pay everybody's wages.
Forced to fund Public Sector workers through taxation. Forced to fund Coca Cola CEO through hypnotic advertising campaigns, and brainwashing lifestyle marketing images.

po-tay-toe, po-tah-toe.

Coughlan said that she could not say if there were to be further pay cuts when challenged by Varadker on the Week in Politics last evening. This government is a rudderless ship cruising in iceberg waters.

When the PS workers are bled dry the incompetents will have a go at the private sector via taxes and DW cuts. The rot is there because of colossal greed and ineptitude by the incumbents and all we can do is stupidly attack those who were not the cause of the problem.

If the PS unions were carrying out this action to overthrow the capitalist system I'd support them 100%, but I fear they are only looking out for their own members' slice of the capitalist cake - which they have no intention of changing.
