I am with Entwisi on this one. Why should local government workers and civil servants be treated differently than the rest of the working population? What makes them so special?
As we have seen with any department of HBC you care to mention, it is not as if they do a particularly good job, or are super-efficient.
And why is it that the rest of us poor schmucks will be the ones who have to fork out and pay for this through increases in council tax.
If you lot want to retire at sixty - fine! Good luck to you.
But I think that you are the ones who should be paying for it,
not us!
And I think that it is disgraceful that services which we pay for should be disrupted simply because you cannot get your own way.
