Public Sector Pay Moderisation Alliance

Voltex

Iv been listen to all the Unions waffeling about how they will do this or do that if the goverment tries to reduce their pay...but there doesnt seem to be a group or "Union" to repersent the Private Sector to be able to tell them to "Go Right Ahead and strike...but your not getting paid for it".

Let the teachers strike...let the Dole Office Worker strike...let the 35 hour a week nurses strike....sod em all!

Who's with me!!
Lets organise and tell the Public Sector Unions "Go and S*ite" with your threats!!

To be fair, social welfare officers are dealing with antiquated systems, understaffed offices and daily abuse from "clients"

Yes, they have secure, permanent jobs but for those on a clerical officers salary, they earn it.
Oh, and they don't just deal with the unemployed, they are many, many other schemes to administer. Disability being an obvious example. Dole office?

Anyway, everybody knows if you go on strike your employer won't pay you, this isn't news. Unions have reserves for strike pay for this reason

It is funny how the Unions try and make the issue more complicated than it really is...

I heard today they have asked Lenihan to increase taxes for everyone and not cut public sector jobs in the budget. WAKE THE **** UP YOU MUPPETS!!! Everybody is suffering and just because you are "public service" doesn't grant you ****ing immunity from an economic crisis. These unions are driving a bigger and bigger wedge between the public and private sectors and they really need to shut the **** up.

After hours will become a shrine, and punks and skins and rastas will all gather round and hold their hands in sorrow for their fallen leader.
And all the grown-ups will say, "But why are the kids crying?" And the kids will say, "Haven't you heard? Voltex is dead! The People's Poet is dead!"

These are the last people I want striking.

Let the HSE admin staff strike, let the tax office workers strike, let anyone whose job title is 'Civil Servant' (with no specifics to it) strike.

So what about that local sports team? Eh? Eh?

Lets take an example as highlighted recently in the media...

An ambulance driver from Bray found himself in the Tallaght aera...he was then requested to carry a patient from the Tallaght area to another hospital...but he refused...he would not carry out the request untill he returned to his "base" in Bray and was then re-dispatched.

Now its the example above...and the mentality on Unions to encourage this kinda activity that is the root of the current suitation.

Isn't a tax on everybody more fair? Yes. Yes it is.

No two ways about it unfortunately, Public Sector works are in for pay cuts. The country is broke. Now, as far as I'm concerned, it should be the higher levels of management in the civil service, the people on big salaries, who should take the biggest cut but we all know everybody bar them will get shafted as is the usual course of action.

Watch that personal abuse next time there homes or it's a ban.

Folks we're not going to be having a situation where we can just call every single public servant a muppet because there is a strike on. If you want to discuss it at least do so civilly and without resorting to digs about the entire public service. Troll threads like this will not last long in this forum.
