New on the Coalition Timeline

 <http://www.ier.org.uk/resources/coalition-timeline> Coalition Timeline.jpg

For the first time since its launch back in September, the Coalition timeline has not been updated this week, as the government finally seems to have taken a few days off their sustained attack against workers.

Why not use this rare reprieve to catch up on  <http://www.ier.org.uk/node/1385> what the Coalition timeline has taught us so far - a series of articles which was updated today with the new blog  <http://www.ier.org.uk/blog/public-sector-workers-are-being-treated-no-respect#.UR5B6WO8tMI.twitter> Public sector workers are being treated with no respect.
