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

No, I think I read your post correctly, on the point of minimum wages paid by private companies, if that is the case then the private company can provide the same service but cheaper, the fact that minimum wages are paid does not matter as long as the end user of the service, gets as good a service as previous.
Your other point regarding the transfer of staff with a "service" contract, that is now law, it came from the EU.

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

I don't think that any one councillor would get that chance, think anything like that would be done via the "Tender " process.
