I work in the private sector. I've not had a pay rise for the past 3 years, and my employer can make me redundant on statutory terms should they wish. If I don't like it, I am more than welcome to seek alternative employment.
Regardless of the offer put to the RMT, this argument “I’ve not had it, so why should anyone else” is one thing wrong with the whole debate.
Better/improved employee rights and T&Cs should be available to everyone, and I’m glad people argue for them.
Anyway, you’ve got your own thread for this
