Actually, I have worked in the public and private sector and dont have a great view of some of the public sector in terms of value for money for the taxpayers funding the service. I am all too aware of the drive to get more for less out of the private sector..and given the current economic climate..I think it is right that we all share the pain of getting the countries financial matters back in order. In particular, the public sector need to understand the basic economics of supply/demand, budget/cost, market rate pay/pensions etc etc..
I am not gloating...I just want to see fair play....especially as it our taxes which are funding public sector...I want to be satisfied that the monies are being spent wisely.
