Right so stuff is definitely beginning to happen now with this.
Basically the government is offering all these different sets of public sector workers 2-2.5% pay increases, at a time when real inflation - cost of living increases - are at 4.5%. This is effectively a 2-2.5% pay cut, and obviously totally unacceptable to those of us who work there.
Who here works in the different sectors? What's going on at your place?
All union-co-ordinated action seems quite weak, and most importantly is keeping everyone separate. Of course, they are forced to do this by anti-union laws. We're all facing the same deal but the unions won't act together, which is frustrating.
So this thread is to discuss and share news about what's going on with this struggle, and if there are any ways we can help push things forward. Enjoy!
