Public sector wage restraint

The UK government is having a hard time persuading some public sector workers to take a tougher than usual pay round.

The PM has tried to show "we're all in this together" by pegging MP pay rise to 2%. Very laudable, but these people have gold plated pensions, very generous working benefits - how about no pay rise this year, no MP would have noticed - and the PR would have been gold dust.
