Government employees can't really be called 'workers,' since they rarely work. The dirty little secret is that it is hard to tell when government employees aren't on the job, because they do so little when they are on the job, that is outside of harassing the private sector and making life miserable for everyone else.
Come to think of it, life may be more pleasant with public employees on strike.
The real public, that is the private sector, may realize how little needed they are and eliminate most of their jobs.
Live coverage of the public sector strikes as teachers, hospital staff, airport workers and government employees strike in protest of proposed pension and budget cuts.
• But unions claim today's strike will be the largest since 1979
• Cameron calls public sector strikes a 'damp squib'
• NHS: 60,000 non-urgent operations, appointments cancelled
• Schools: 60 per cent closed today as teachers strike
• Airports largely unaffected by the strike
Sir Bernard Ingham, Margaret Thatcher's former press secretary, has lashed out at strikers, saying their industrial action is a "disgrace."
Writing in the Yorkshire Post, he said that the taxpayer is now getting "worse than monkey service" from public servants.
