Jobs freeze will hurt economy more than snow

Responding to the government's plans to extend the civil service recruitment freeze indefinitely, PCS general secretary Mark Serwotka said:

 "After official figures confirmed last week that the economy shrank in the final quarter of 2010, the government seems determined to drive it down even further by cutting investment from the only sector that showed any growth - the public sector.

"Instead of arrogantly ploughing on with cuts, which are already damaging our public finances, the government should have the strength to admit it was wrong, change course, and create jobs to invest in our economy."
