public sector pay protests

I get the feeling that a sizeable percentage of replies on this thread will be motivated by jealousy of a perceived reality. People who think that all public sector workers earn millions whilst pocketing gold plated pensions. The Right wing media strikes again.

I get sick of hearing people complain about how little pay Nurses & the military are on,they knew the pay when they took the job.
When ever ive been in a hospital the nurses never seem over worked,quite the opposite tbh.
And don't get me started on teachers :D

Didn't realise you spoke for the whole military.

Well when you serve 22 years in the military you kind of get the gist via the forces websites and news and papers and forum and speaking to people whilst yes I'm not speaking for the whole military you pick up the General vibe

you do understand pay rises and inflation don't you? I'm sure you do, but I feel I have to ask.

The money has been reduced by about 15% in real terms since most of them accepted their jobs, so I'm not surprised they are getting upset, particularly when bankers get millions for just 'doing a good job'. Who doesn't do a good job? :mmm:

Well maybe they should become bankers.

Depends how much you earn originally. Did you read the articles at all. I'm betting not. :D

I did. I dont believe moaning about what other people get paid is relevent though. They are doing a completely different job. All them percentages and stats are irrelevent.

If you want that money, go get it.

Yep they could. Well done for pointing out the obvious.

They can also protest. Which they are (well done me)

Like has already been said, if you don't like it leave it, so I did. These jobs can't be that bad if they are willing to stay in them even though they think they are being underpaid. Don't even get me started on the fireman from a few years ago when I was stood outside of my green goddess trying to put a house fire out in nothing more than my combats because we did not get supplied the correct PPE. While they sat around their fire stations drinking tea and moaning.
