Tashengurt,
We are in a similar boat. Pay freeze. No overtime pay. Pension cuts. Redundancies. Etc. I suspect that we are just a little bit jealous that we have to take this on the chin - without so much as a by your leave - whereas police officers are permitted to vent their frustrations in public.
Don't take it personally. If I took the sh!te written on any of the Scottish threads, I'd never be back. (Some might say 'good riddance')
