For get that some of them deserved rises, but It was a one way negotiation - just fold by the Government eg - if the junior doctors pass out as to surgeons or GPs - a five-year service minimum, or they pay their training back if it is subsidised ?
Also, the teachers they could have been tied in to a longer contract .....
My son takes a Microsoft exam his firm pay for it - if he leaves inside 12 months in his contract - he has to pay all the fees on courses or exam fees back in full - it is automatically deducted in his 3-month leaving pay .....
After 12 months that is terminated until his next training etc - it entices loyalty .....
This Labour lot just rolled over - with more threatened rail strikes & they paid them in full FGS
I see Harriet Harman in now being involved in the OAP fuel dispute - It's too harsh - but wait for the excuse labour wanted 800, 000 pensioners to come forward to rightly claim that allowance - do they realise with perks its worth £5400 per year net - no tax - an excuse , but they are correct, but they should be on it automatically in the world of IT computers - not a 20-page booklet to fill in & the CAB cut to the bone .....
Evidently the help line you can wait 4-5 hours to just get through .... I had that problem to just claim my OAP pension -
also are you aware there are two rates of payment on pensions - the older pension's part of it is passed on to the living partner - the new pension much higher - it can't be passed on -
A gimmick by the Tories to stop what was called the widow pension ....
When I was at work I was full aware my NI taxes were paying OAPs pensions - as that's how it has mostly been - it is grotesque that rich people get an OAP pension & perks - Martin Lewis reckons the fairest way is after band D on the council tax list they should not get anything ..... a fair assumption ?
