Public sector stress levels

Stress in the public sector is being blamed for the increasing gap between the average number of sick days taken by public sector workers and their private sector cousins. Only in the last paragraph are the real reasons given, public sector organisations "are far less likely to take disciplinary action against workers who take excessive time off sick" whilst "sick pay is generally more generous in the public sector."

Maybe staff are stressed by who is going to pay their pensions...
