In a statement today The People Before Profit Alliance extended its full support to public sector workers on strike. This government wants to make workers pay for the crisis by cutting wages and services. We say its now time to say stop.

Councillor Richard Boyd Barrett said “The government has launched an onslaught on public sector workers with the intention of cutting wages and jobs. Yet almost half of public sector workers earn less than the average industrial wage. These workers should not be targeted but those who have gained most from the Celtic Tiger.
