Am on strike again tomorrow, the second time in my rather short working life. Tomorrow's strike is about the massive job cuts the government has decided to impose on us as "savings".
The thing is, right, they claim (or claimed) that these massive job cuts (over 100,000) were to provide extra resources for front-line staff. However, the first round of cuts is to be in Job Centres and Social security offices. Now, you'll have to pardon my ignorance here, but surely these are front line offices, no? Or am I missing something?
Who knows, who knows? The government's involved in a competition with both the Conservatives and the Lib Dems to see who can cut the most, with no thought as to whether we do a good job, what the effects will be etc. Because, as I may have said before, civil servants are an easy target. Or are seen as such.
