To be serious it’s kind of irrelevant. Her experience is common to working in the public sector over the last couple of decades. She could literally work in any sector in any organisation of the civil service and there’s no shortage of people with the same/similar experience.
Irrelevant, but makes me nosy
Where I work requires specific postgraduate degrees... apart from me, and that's reflected in the fact that it's my hours that keep getting cut in a crisis!I earn less now than I did in 2008, without even needing to adjust for inflation. And yep, when I'm in shortly I'm checking my pension contribution It def isn't a final salary scheme, and I'm fairly sure the employer contribution isn't what's been claimed earlier. Given my salary decline it's not exactly a compensation, anyway.

It certainly was when she started. The only people they can attract now into are fresh out of university, stay for a couple of years to get the experience on their CV before moving on. Sometimes they don’t even go into the private sector. Just move to a neighbouring county doing the same job but for an authority who hasn’t contracted their job out to the private sector, instantly improving their pay, terms and conditions. Also with the benefit if their job does get contracted out to the private sector they have the protection of tupe rules.Job for life
How is giving people the opportunity to release say 10% of their salary for a period of time kicking the can down the road ? It’s their money, theyve earned it if they need it now, let them have it. From memory nurses would still receive emp’er contribution of 10% during that period, together with their own contributions, more than most people stick in their pension
The alternative is those staff move to agency, dont get any of the pension/benefits but get higher basic ?! nhs ends up paying agency firm for supplying staff

Hope that c**t on the times undercover video gets his head caved in
I've heard that today and just seen the news .
Pre pay meters and high direct debits have, among other things, been raised recently as issues with the way energy companies were behaving. The government's response was that they were going to ask them nicely to behave better. Can't see that having much impact
While I think pre-payment meters are ok by themselves, I really can't fathom them costing extra.
It’s almost as if that could lead to you using less energy, therefore paying less. That’s clearly not what they got into business for.
Bloody hell. That's horrendous.
Pretty sure some of their staff have acted illegally and should be prosecuted and the company should be at least fined

Probably nurses planning a protest the way the government are driving things.
