Definitely Brendan Barber, who is on record as saying:

'Low pay for public sector workers could also cause "simmering resentment"'

Er, Brendan, firstly, average pay for public sector workers is now around 14% higher than in the private sector, and secondly, if there weren't so bloody many of them* we'd be able to pay a bit more to those that are left, wouldn't we?

If you're wondering why the TUC emphasises the public sector, it's because Trade Unions and the public sector are virtually synonymous - 59% of public sector workers are in a union, as opposed to only 16% of private sector employees.
