Help the economy by imposing Public Sector pay cuts (excluding National Health)
Hello - Could you please look into the impact that Covid-19 has had on both Public/Private sectors. I work like many millions in the Private Sector, we have been hammered with 20% or 10% pay cuts whilst working, this could be for months. Many have been furloughed or have lost their jobs.
In comparison the Public sector have had hardly any disruption to their income, (this is not directed at the NHS who have worked tirelessly hard and provided excellent care). They are receiving full pay, full pension's.
If Government bodies were asked to take a 2/3% cut, it would save a huge amount of monies, this could be ploughed back into the system for furloughing an extra 2-3m. Government bodies should contribute.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not exactly sure who you want to be included in a public sector pay cut. We understand that you don't want the NHS to be included, but we're not sure whether you'd want the Police or Teachers to be included for example. The Government isn't responsible for all public sector workers, such as employees of local authorities.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like to happen. For example, you could start a new petition asking for the Government to impose a pay cut on the civil service, if that's what you'd like to happen.
