LABOR LOOKS AFTER ITS PAMPERED OWN AS WORKERS LOSE JOBS
Sick: "Queensland’s 224,000 state public servants are set to receive pay rises totalling more than 3 per cent as others in the workforce endure static income levels, wage cuts, reduced hours, unpaid stand-downs or lose jobs because of the economic impact of the coronavirus." If this government has spare cash, give it to workers doing it tough.
Queensland’s 224,000 state public servants are set to receive pay rises totalling more than 3 per cent as others in the workforce endure static income levels, wage cuts, reduced hours, unpaid stand-downs or lose jobs because of the economic impact of the coronavirus.
This is Queensland mate-mate Labor looking after its pampered union members in the public service rather than the millions of workers in private industry who are in real strife.
If this debt-ridden government really has spare cash for workers, give it to those doing it tough.
How's this for a pathetic excuse?:
Alex Scott, general secretary of Together Queensland, a branch of the Australian Services Union, dismissed any suggestion state public servants’ pay rises should be postponed or cancelled...
The union chief said while Queensland public servants were still working, many from home, with no stand-downs or layoffs, they were “not immune” from the coronavirus crisis because they were married to or had relationships with people in the private sector experiencing financial difficulty after cuts to working hours or losing their jobs.
What about all the people in the private sector who've suffered but aren't married to a public servant with a job?
