Your wife is obviously very ethical and did the right thing, I would always refuse too. More lately I seem to have got a bit more angry and speak out far more about such things. I am not sure that is very wise of me…

My wife used to work for a firm that was having cash flow problems (she’s a bookkeeper) and they wanted her to fiddle some money from the pension fund. She refused, and resigned. That sort of thing is all too comon.

I would agree the should look at what went wrong with the private sector pensions and put that straight.

Perhaps they need to be asking what’s wrong with the private sector, instead of trying to drag the public sector down to their level.

Hey, isn’t that the argument to Tories use, butr the other way round?

It is a continuing series James.

The first four posts were from a PCS article:
Myth 1 – Civil Servants are Well Paid
Myth 2 – Civil Service Pensions are Gold Plated
Myth 3 – Civil and Public Servants are Secure in their Jobs
Myth 4 – Privatisation

I followed those up with two others:

- The proposed reform of the civil service compensation scheme
- Exposing the myths that the civil service are paid more than the private sector

Then with a further three articles that focused on aspects of the MoD.

What I am posting now is a more in depth look at pensions and privatisation.

The full index of the posts can be found here.
