Some knee-jerks around seem to think the cuts are going to equate to the sacking of the entire public sector. 100,000 jobs = 0.33% of the workforce.
it is not 0.33% of the public sector though it is .33% of the ENTIRE workforce so far but you know that and wanted to overstate your case. It is still a small percentage but that is little comfort when you loose your job.
I am not sure your personal experiences are reflective of the enitre construction industry. I am sure you can find the stats to show the overall picture.
Re the comments some of what he says is true but when you consider the example of binners [and many others]last year it is an insesitive comment to make given the amount of pain some people have endured.
