Re: Pub Sector get 12 days unpaid leave, where are the following years cuts to come f
From talking to some PS employees from a wide variety of areas with vastly differing pay scales they are all of the opinion that they've taken a 7.5% pay cut already.
The facts and Union spin are 2 different things altogether in this case. Unfortunately a lot of misplaced anger seems to have been generated as a result.
Sounds like the gist of this thread.There is no need for people to know what my scale or grade is.My increment was not huge, it was the norm but with the fact that the pension levy is tax deductable, the increment pretty much balanced things out. Maybe the fact that I was on unpaid leave at the start of the year might make things different for me but it wasn't nearly as bad as peopl were predicting in the media before the levy was introduced.
