Shoot in many cases here the public sector pay rate is 2-3 times that of the private. And that’s just straight pay not taking into account all the benefits. Shit I had a car for a few years. But perhaps we are comparing apples and oranges I don’t know how you guys do things.
We get no car in the public sector just 45p per mile using our own vehicle. Unions here are linked to the Labour party which influence policy but that is better than a millionaires donating to the Tory party to keep business taxes low for them.
