Public Sector Transformation and Wage Concerns. This is my take on the matter

I note the spate of industrial actions by public workers which appears to be based on rank misinformation and an unwillingness to listen and trying to understand what is being placed on the table in relation to the rolling of allowances into salaries and wages.

How did we come to this point and is it that the leadership of the unions have not take the timeout to understand what is at play and simply following the workers instead of leading them. Is it that the government has failed to properly communicate ?

I heard one union man telling his people that if workers wages move from $1.5m to $1.6m then all $1.6m will be taxed at 25%, which is simply wrong.

Now I believe the PM and Minister of Finance has said the move will not result in anyone being worse off and this is how I see things playing out .

From the above no one would be worse off even when allowances are rolled into the salaries and wages and taxed.
