Paul Mills: Time for Government to take on the public unions

Rolling over for the public sector unions will do nothing for the economy, except hurt it. As part of the agreement reached at the peak of the economic downturn, the Government is now restoring pay that was cut from the wage packets of public sector employees.

Sure, an agreement was made and should, under normal circumstances, be honoured, but we are still not out of the woods. We continue to borrow just to stand still.

A hard Brexit is looming and we are already feeling the implications of the plunge in the value of the sterling.
