Thread Name: BS: Striking teachers should lose pay
Subject: RE: BS: Striking teachers should lose pay
Some otherwise intelligent folks are getting too caught up in the trap of 'divide and rule' tribalist political manipulation..
"Private v Public" Sector ???
Just remind yourselves what the 'Public' sector is actually established for,
and for just 'who' these mostly hard pressed under esteemed Public workers
are employed to provide life long benefit and value ...
Aside from the higher echelons of the most independently wealthy;
all of us at some points in our lives
will gain substantial value for our tax money
as the Public Sector variously meets our individual personal needs..
Of course the Public Sector is far from perfect:
seriously flawed and destabilised by constant contrary
contradictory Govt interference;
and unjustly maligned by extreme crackpot tory theoreticians
and unenlightened "Daily Mail" reading 'I'm alright Jack, f@ck you' yahoos...
