Just for the record Suzanne I just do not buy this "choice argument" re private sector that you keep pushing. I do not have any meaningful choice between BP and Shell, between Sainsburys and Tesco (OK and a couple of others), etc. The private sector tends towards effectrive monopoly but without democratic control and whilst you are not going to agree I think we, as a nation, have as much right to control private sector salaries as we do almost anything else. After all we chose to control in the 19th century whether they use slave or child labour - much to the protests of many bosses of the time - we choose to decide the health and safety requirements of their employment. Sorry but I just do not accept that we should not take as much control of their salaries as we do of the public sector. |
