Public sector jobs should be open to the public. The public sector
belongs to all of us and the public should have a right to apply for
any protected plum jobs.

Right - so the important bit is not the best person for the job? Just any
old layabout who likes the idea of a decent salary?


You can't always get the best person for the job if you limit it to a
subset like union members.

TFL doesn't with tube drivers. Merely offers those jobs first internally.
Thus saving advertising costs too - surely to be applauded? If not enough
suitable applicants they then do advertise externally. Just what they are
doing in an attempt to get more female drivers.

Having applications open to everyone doesn't mean you have to employ the
worst.
Restricting it like that just gets you the worst case.

Really? Choosing someone known to the company and who also has probably a
good idea of what the job involves is going to be worse than selecting
someone by an interview board, etc? You must have worked with some pretty
poor people.
