Regional Pay - Another threat

“Regional pay” threatens to be another blow to public sector workers working in defence, following a pay freeze, thousands of job losses and threats to pensions.

Regional or local pay is riddled with issues and these are compounded in defence where military units and bases are often in rural and remote areas where they are the main economic driver.

The assumption that public sector workers are paid more than private sector workers is flawed. Again we see political spin being applied detrimentally to public sector workers.

Shouldn't all jobs be subject to a fair days pay for a fair days work.

If the politicians bring in regional pay, will they apply it to themselves as public servants?

Politicians have not brought their "Platinum Plated" pensions scheme in line with the public sector pension schemes they are attacking!

The answer is a No then. One rule for politicians and another for the rest of us.
