Why does it seem like being bad at your job isn't a sackable offence in the public sector?

I recently moved into the civil service from the private sector.

Overall it's good, but the overall level of competence is a bit lower.

Recently my manager was asking my thoughts on another employee who is known for being fairly incompetent. I said as much when he asked me, and asked him if he was going go through the necessary internal process to try and have her improve, and let go if she isn't able to improve.

He said that it was much more trouble than it's worth, as he's only ever scene people sacked from the civil service for gross misconduct like racially abusing a colleague, or fighting someone in the office.

He recalled one time working in a different civil service department, some lady was terrible at her job, had a bad attitude and openly refused to do tasks she didn't want to. They tried to fire her but she got the unions involved and they managed to put together some kind of case that stopped it happening. So she continued to poison this team and ruin the efforts and possible career progression of her colleagues.

This worries me, I'm hoping to see my team improve over the coming years and the idea that incompetent people effectively have a job for life seems ridiculous, and counter productive to the organisations aims.

It doesn't many any sense either, it benefits no one but the under-performing employee, and harms her team, the wider department and organisation, and all her colleagues (such as me)
