UK public pay row and economic stability.

With the surprise walk-out of UK prison officers, Prime Minister Gordon Brown says
he won't put economic stability at risk!! The prison officers don't want another year of below-inflation rises. Their 2.5 pct award was staged in two instalments,
which does not sound like a lot of fun.
Apparently, the nurses are also up in arms. Hopefully, it will not be a year of
discontent. However, giving low pay rises to people, who are on below average
earnings, does not seem fair. It seems not to happen to judges.
