    No public service worker voted for austerity.

    They didn't say anything when the country started paying them wages and pensions it couldn't afford either.

    Part and parcel I am afraid.

    I may have been using sarcasm. There's literally loads of people working in the PS. Each of them has a vote etc.

    The unions are in bed with the government and only care about their own members. I'd agree with them standing against further pay cuts but they are motivated by purely selfish reasons and have no solidarity with the other people of this country.

    The CPSU represents the lower grades of the the Civil/Public service who are the people that are the frontline staff of most Departments, that serve the citizens of this country and have nothing but solidarity with them as they are in the same boat re mortgage arrears, bills, worries etc. They treat people with respect regardless of the news stories.
