I hate this sort of "there are other people worse off" dismissal when workers stand up for themselves. Change has to start somewhere, and other people being worse off is never a reason to not demand better conditions.

The thing about the public service is that everyone is an employee. Even the top boss is. It's the last place where change will come from. With their unsackability and final salary linked pension schemes they are completely out of touch with a country where zero hours contracts have become normal while at the same time its the taxes of those people who prop up their generally unproductive jobs.
