 Why all this bleating about the public sector?
There is very little difference between public sector and private sector.
There are equally, probably alot more, lower paid workers in the private sector that do just as important jobs.
Wages in both sectors have failed to increase over the past years.  Working at NTL/VM I remember after the Dot.Com crash in 2000 we didn't get a pay rise for something like 5 years - 0%. Not 1%.  Even now as The Smuf point out  2% is the median and has been for over a decade meaning many only get 1% or less.
Yes bankers, CEO's etc get big money.
But there is big money in the public sector

Difference is,  that is  tax payers money. You want to complain, complain about that.
