On keeping one's promises

[emperor]

Why is it OK to consider changing the law to allow the government to renege on promises it made to civil servants, when we're not considering doing similar to allow us to renege on, say, PFI deals?

I was also going to say that all the stuff about hourly pay and number of hours worked is valid. But in my job I can see direct comparisons between admin assistants with comparable qualifications, payroll assistants in similar sized firms, IT technicians with similar job roles and the differences between what they are paid in the public and private sectors.
