A spokesman for the striking Public and Commercial Services Union said: "Far from being an aspiration budget, it heralds the latest attack on our members who are struggling financially - and yet this government chooses to heap more misery on them."

    “Why do they believe they are so special?

    They need to wake up and smell the coffee - the Country is in a mess as a result of the last Government's mismanagement (and this present lot do not seem to have a clue how to put in right), striking is not going to put it right - all it shows is they are paid too much and do to little.

    The prehistoric attitude of some Unions and their predilection for attritution and confrontation needs addressing - why not work like hell Guys and Gals and when we are out of the mess the Party sponsored by Neanderthal unions created, then demand a payrise but, call it a BONUS

    The Bankers do it and get away with it - so just stop and think!!!

    “And if Public sector wages fall do you REALLY think private sector workers won't follow, its the bar that pay is set by.

    Having worked in both sectors I can see why people think what they do about the public sector but can see why the wages are justified.”
