Business has a dog in the public sector-government fight

In wage disputes, organised labour typically wants to keep the focus on negotiations between workers and their employers. They do not want other stakeholders, like the public or business, to intervene in what is narrowly a wage dispute. Yet the public sector strike that starts tomorrow affects far more than the employer and its workers. It obviously affects many users of the public services that will not be available.

What ideas is labour bringing to the table to improve the national fiscal outlook? When unions demand a 10% across-the-board increase as they have, in response to the 3% offer from government, what is the plan they have to mitigate the impact on fiscal sustainability? I would be quite open to a realistic and effective plan, one that, perhaps, promises improvements in public sector productivity to stimulate economic activity and ultimately improve tax collection.
