Sean, I agree.

In this time when we’re supposed to be cutting back company directors in the FTSE 100 have seen their pay go up.

Isn’t that outragious?

The representative of Chamber of Commerce spokesperson states today on Today that the public sector should not only lose 1.3m jobs but also have a pay cut, similar to that in the private sector.

What FTSE 100 Director has taken a pay cut on their basic pay, Directors pay is actually up as are bankers bonuses

He also says Redundancies should be cut, and the coalition has stated redundancies should be similar to best practise in private sector. OK will they match the bankers redundancy agreements as best practise

Sarah, I don’t normally like strikes, but there is a very easy way that the government can avoid these disputes; go back to the drawing board and start again.

I notice today that Cameron has said he won’t be re-examining this issue.

What some people seem to forget in this case is that public services are at stake here. And these cuts are entirely avoidable, for reasons which I won’t bore readers with again.

I notice today that the Communication Workers’ Union has canceled its strike ballot of BT workers due to legal advice. This is the third time we’ve had legal intervention, following BA as you highlight and I believe the courts interveaned in the Network Rail dispute over Easter.

I find it interesting how bosses think they can acheave meaningful talks whilst at the same time going down the litigation route?
