The government has exempted civil servants, teachers, police officers, armed forces etc from these changes, but not local government staff. This doesn't just mean pen-pushers but essential (and generally low paid) public sector workers like classroom assistants, police community support officers, dinner ladies and bin men.

i'm sorry for having a viewpoint... i just don't follow the whole 'discrimination' argument. if thats the way it works then the whole private sector workforce is subject to discrimination!
