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?


The important bit is not to give a job to someone well-connected but to
award it based on their ability to do the job.

To whom is it "important"? A private company is perfectly entitled to
give preference for jobs to the well-connected, provided it does not
thereby break equality laws. They may well feel the goodwill it
generates compensates for the smaller pool of applicants. Right or
wrong, it is purely their business, not yours.

You have to remember pamela is only concerned with the pay. If any company
was restricting cleaning work on minimum pay to relatives of employees,
she'd not have mentioned it.

Wonder what she makes of the corner shop employing only relatives?
