As we head towads a public sector pay freeze, the inevitability of strike action is increasing daily and a new ‘winter of discontent’ becomes a reality.

So what should the Government do……..

There is a finite sum of money for any public sector industry.  This should clearly be stated to Union heads.  The Union General Secretary should then consult with members:

-   Should the Union accept a pay freeze.  This will protect jobs and prevent people losing their jobs but it means a decline in living standards for all.

or

-   Should the Union state that members require a pay rise…but this will come with job losses to balance the budget.  Hence there will be job cuts.

Just as the private sector has to balance the budget and face market forces & economic reality, so should the public sector and the dinosaur Trade Unions. 

We know which way the Unions will lean towards, but there is a limited treasure chest at the end of the rainbow and tax payers cant provide more than they are already being asked to to repay this Government’s cancerous level of debt!!!

David Cameron will be left with one almighty mess to clear up….frightening!  Shades of Thatcher coming to power in 1979 with an economy on its knees and Unions rising in militancy.
