Did anyone read this article about Peter McCloone. I thought this quote was particularly interesting:-
“In my judgment the alternative [to pay cuts] is likely to involve a significant reduction in public service numbers over the next three to four years, with the likelihood that some additional exceptional measures will also be needed in 2010 to deal with the budgetary crisis next year.”
I'm just wondering how other people read this. Is he suggesting PS workers may have to take pay cuts to save jobs or jobs will have to be lost to maintain pay? He doesn't mention if cuts in jobs would be compulsory.
