I was really pleased with the turnout at the two Wellington Street meetings about the Civil Service Compensation Scheme. There were over 100 people at the meetings altogether and the atmosphere was inspiring.
The changes mean that people who are made redundant or leave early could have their compensation reduced by a third, or even more in some cases. Not only will your job be less secure, but you will get less compensation.
Not satisfied with this we also face attacks on pay (our marvellous 3 year deal of 2%, 0% and 1% will be followed this year by between 0 & 1% and next year by 0%).
It upsets my sense of justice that bankers who brought the economy to it's knees continue to get high salaries and low paid civil servants, who are preventing the victims of the bankers from starving to death, get penalised financially.
We need to stand up against pickpockets, whether they are in the street or in the House of Commons.
