Key words - I will make a difference one day

Stick with that view, you can plot a time line to when it all went wrong especially for those working in the public sector, more so for Civil Servants.

Two decades or more of permanent attack from the right wing press calling us over-paid parasites, non-productive and with gold-plated pensions (which we paid for by accepting reduced comparative salaries) has joe public believing it.

I think I felt like you but I was lucky enough to be able to throw myself into Trade Union activity. I thought I could change everything but looking back from my retirement I realise that was a fantasy but I remain proud of the small but relevant changes we did bring about in terms of equality.

Stay with it.
