perhaps you didnt read what i said correctly
they have to keep the current wage levels , so this means they cant pay minimum wage like other private companys did
the companys the councli lost tenders to in the past paid minimum wages , no full paid sick pay , no holiday pay as they usualy employed people on a self employed basis and other ways of keping costs down
now hynburn council have probably sold these departments with a contract stating that the counclil must continue to use the people who buy out these departments so that they dont just sell the departments and go to the previously mentioned cheaper companies who pay minimum wages etc
either way we all loose apart from the councilor who decides which company takes over as he or she will probably recieve a nice backhander from the winning buyer unless we actualy have honest councilors/polititians LMAO
