PCS Union says cuts to public services "totally wrong" for Scotland
30 July 2010
The report suggests jobs will go by natural wastage, but this is very unlikely when 100,000 jobs have already been cut right across the civil service, and the Tory/Lib Dem government are trying to cut redundancy payments by 2/3 to make it even cheaper to cut jobs in future.
Scottish Secretary Lynn Henderson said “Scottish Ministers have an opportunity to take a different approach in their budget in the autumn. The Independent Budget Review sees cuts as inevitable, and pretends there is no alternative.
PCS says collect around £120 billion of uncollected, avoided and evaded tax, cancel Trident and cut the use of highly expensive consultants in the civil service. This means we can keep a properly funded, properly resourced public sector to benefit both workers and the public in Scotland”.
