Pay where I work has always been below median of comparable private

cut over and above the pay freeze *and* cut our pension too as well
as asking us to pay more and work longer. My union and other unions
can try and do something about it and we are and will. I'm sorry that
you are not in the same position but that doesn't mean that we should
be clobbered unfairly as well if we can do something about it.

Exactly Will! Bring up the private sector pensions to be inline with the
public! Not the other way around! Ever looked into MP's pensions?
