Writing in today's Times, CBI president Sir Roger Carr denounced the "demonisation" of public sector pay claiming that it will deter others from accepting jobs that might be open to political interference. "This cannot be in the public interest", he said.
The "vilification", as Carr described it, would lead to people eschewing vital roles in public service and take their services abroad. He went on to say "There are nurses, refuse collectors and teachers who have had politicians capping pay at 1% and ramping up the rhetoric when they have the temerity to complain. Let me tell you; if this continues, these people will be driven out of Britain. There are plenty of other countries, other economies, that will benefit from their dedication and experience".
