Fairness and Common Sense
Labour leader - Ed Miliband - came off the fence earlier in the week - and urged the trade union's to call off their strikes over public sector pensions.
But there's been little sign of him today on the airwaves.
Which is a bit suprising - because the changes being proposed are based on a report by Lord Hutton - one of Ed Miliband's cabinet minster colleagues in the last Labour government.
Maybe the Labour leader will have something to say later in the day - or maybe he's appearing at one of the trade union marches - which are taking place around the country.
In any event it would be good to hear what he has to say about one - or indeed any - of the key issues involved in the dispute.
For example, does Ed Miliband support the retention of 'final salary' pension schemes?
John Hutton knows where he stands on that point - on the side of fairness and common sense.
So the Labour leader should have no difficulty in making it clear - where he stands as well.
