Public sector workers get rich on YOUR taxes

Headline from DM 29th February 2008:
A fifth of your council tax is paying for 'gold plated' pensions at the town hall

Favourite quote:

"The country's 1.6 million local government employees have 'gold plated' final salary pensions, while many in the private sector face retiring on a pittance."

And here is the evidence to prove it. Taken last summer in Leeds it shows Sheila Dawkins, a former tea lady for Leeds City Council, with her gold plated pension, gold plated hat and gold plated Porsche whilst two retired insurance brokers have to resort to begging in order to bolster their meagre pensions.
