Rejected petition Pay cut for Government Workers in Tier 2 and 3
All those who work for the local government, including civil servants and the local MP, whose constituents are put into tier 2 and 3 level restrictions should be forced to accept a pay cut in line with the government measures.
More details
All these measures that are put in place are mainly affecting those in the private sector, but all decisions are being made by those in the public sector. The measures need to be reflected across the board so that we are all truly "in this together".
Currently, government's are taking control of people's business's, income, and sometimes right to work without any consequence to their own way of living. This is not democratic.
