These comments just about sum it up for me
Quote:
General Secretary Brendan Barber said: "Moving to regional pay will not just reduce the pay of millions of public servants, but hit regional economies outside London and the South East as people have less to spend."
He added: "This budget is shaping up to be a giveaway for the super-rich and a takeaway from Britain's hardest-hit regions."
Public and Commercial Services union general secretary Mark Serwotka said: "Local economies - already suffering from Tory-led, politically motivated butchery - are crying out for investment, not more cuts.
"It appears that next week's budget is shaping up to include the exact opposite of what our communities need to help them get back on their feet."
Mr McCluskey added: "George Osborne's Budget will reveal him as a grotesque reversal of Robin Hood, rewarding the super-wealthy by allowing them to skip over their tax responsibilities while mugging the low waged."
