It is quite simple - your average taxpayer in the private sector is fed up of being fleeced and having to fund public sector pensions. If the unions didn't have a stranglehold over vital public service providers this problem could be resolved by everyone contributing to their own pension pots - but any mention of any change for the overall good of the nation and you guys shout 'Strike' and the unsustainable continues - it disgusts me taht you only operate in your own selfish sphere and will not accept that change to this developing two tier pension society is essential. - Ultimately the Unions are the most selfish element in British working life.
