Public Sector Pay - Prison Officers

Posted by Ricky in Opinion under on Sep 10 2007

Could someone explain why the pay review body’s recommendations are being thrown out; why modestly paid prison staff, in the front line of society’s fight to control crime and disorder, under enormous daily pressure, are having a real terms pay CUT imposed on them? Unjust and un-justifiable.

Child of the post-war baby boom. Spent childhood summers on Shoreham Beach. Came of age in the Sixties. Got on my bike in ''79 when Mrs Thatcher won, and rode-off for France and Spain. Enrolled at University in Bordeaux, learned to teach French as a Foreign Language, discovered that we are an integral part of the astonishing tapestry of European Culture, that our differences, so large to us, are invisibly small to the world outside. Found Shoreham again in 1986 and moved down permanently in 1990 with Sally where we have grown up with two wonderful daughters.
