The public sector strikes are on the horizon again with little chance of being resolved by Wednesday.

The public sector workers have been losing support as time has gone on; largely thanks to the government’s unfair analysis of them. They claim the public sector are being irresponsible by striking when talks are still on-going. The thing is the talks haven’t moved in months.

Striking is the only right workers in Britain have left and they wouldn’t be doing it if they didn’t feel so strongly about the unfairness of the reform. It’s not a case of total disagreement; it’s about the severity of cuts and the devaluation of their roles.

Deal or Deal.

The government is currently on a slashing spree. Desperately clawing back every penny they can in order to get us out of recession and get our economy growing. It was revealed today that Steve Hilton, one of David Cameron’s policy advisors, came out with some ridiculous ideas in a meeting back in March.

According to Hilton, the government needs to scrap maternity leave altogether to stimulate the economy. Really Steve, that’s your big idea? Force women to go back to work immediately after birth? Or is the plan for them to actually give birth at work? Surely that's against the law.

Last Thursday thousands of public sector workers went on strike in their continuing battle against the government’s public sector pension reforms, and depending on who you listen to it was either a massive success or a complete damp squid.

The reforms in question would mean that public sector workers will have to pay 3% more in their pension contributions, work for longer, up until they are 68, and once they do retire receive less money in their pension. The government has called this “fair to taxpayers.” I’m afraid the only government that could see this as “fair” would be a Tory government. Public sector workers pay tax too.
