| Comment | Because it has budgets to stick to.
I'm being flippant, yes the government obviously has budgets but my point is that there is no natural ceiling for government salaries.
The government can't say "well, binmen/women only provide £30,000 a year in value so we know we can't pay them more than that."
The government will of course push back on pay rises but there is no commercial factor stopping them from paying more money. |
