Re: Abolished public sector final salary pensions?     21-Nov-09 02:43 AM    
Nobody is disputing that a certain number of people need to work in the Public Sector, yes we need nurses, yes we need doctors, yes we need firemen, yes we need tax collectors, however over the past 12 years the Public Sector disproportionately and is completely out of line with growth in jobs in the Private Sector.

Before the last Government, the argument for generous Public Sector pensions was that Public Sector workers were paid considerably less than equivalent roles in the Private Sector. This is no longer the case after 12 years of Labour's Socialism experiment gone wrong, now pay is on a par and in many cases exceeds equivalent roles in the Private Sector. But the gold plated Public Sector pensions remain which is wholly unfair ,unjust, unsustainable and will be the breaking of Britain if not reviewed.

I personally don't want to work until 70-75 to pay for some Police Officer/Fire Officer who has retired after 30 years service at the age of 50 because of some miscellaneous faked illness.....because this happens, I know examples of this and I'm sure you know of them as well.

If this is not addressed, we will have riots in the streets, Public Sector workers vs Private Sector workers/ Tax Payers of tomorrow.

Prepare for a mighty showdown.
