The gravy train

Remember the old cliché, ‘an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay’? There seems to be a competition amongst the public sector unions to see who can extract the highest multiple of the day’s pay for a day’s work.

Sadly, this is the modus operandi of our master class and it leads to gross inequality.

It is bewildering why this cohort fails to accept that it is on a gravy train. Is it a slight oversight or is it being greedy?

They seem to conveniently compare themselves to those brethren in a more privileged position further up the train, instead of comparing themselves to workers at a similar level in the private sector.
