    Public sector pay capped at 1% increases for 2 years.

    I can't see the Unions taking it lying down.


    edit:
    Oh and the fact that public sector pensions will be tougher to fund meaning a cut in Govt support to the tune of £1bn/yr. Public sector employees to pay more for their pensions.

    No - the recession doesn't apply to the Unions as we have discovered over the past year. :mad:
