Quote Sal Paradise="Sal Paradise"There appears to be a notion that salary increases should be a given and that that is the norm in the private sector. That is far from the case - I would suggest there are plenty of people working in the private sector that would have loved to have had a 1% increase compounded for 7 years. The notion that the public sector is worse off than all the workers in the private sector is a fallacy propagated by the likes of Corbyn.
What is the civil service offering in increased productivity for its annual salary increases?
Increases in pay should be self funding otherwise you are in the departure lounge of oblivion.'"
I agree but, I think you will find that regardless of "productivity" improving, within the sector, they are still being capped at 1%.
Although, many accuse Labour of solving problems, by throwing money around, without thought AND there are some eye watering salaries within local government, with council leaders getting paid more than the PM, which is clearly wrong.
This isn't what we are talking about here.
I'm trying to say that we cannot have staff, with wage increases CAPPED at 1% (this doesn't mean its and automatic increase) and yet you, like T.May,still believe this to be justified.
Fair society ?, I dont think so.
