It is a contract, we chose to work for the government for lesser money but better conditions, the government is the biggest employer and without it the country would not work equally we can't all be paid similar to the once private sector, the wage bill would be unpayable. Fact is we signed a contract that is now being changed without our consent. Paying in more, well not a problem, no choice will have to find it, but to make us wait from 60 to 65+ to get what we were promised at 60 is just wrong. Like the changes in 2003 should be for new employees only but as I said I would except the extra but not the retirement age.
Anyway the anti public sector workers and Peter Hitchen at the mail today have convinced me we are worth sh*t and provide nothing, so I am going to save £75 a year and not but it anymore, I hope some people are made redundant at the mail.
