Where do you stand on it?
Having read the Argus and their snippet with one of the affected, it made me wonder whether they (and he, in particular) were out of touch with reality. Any pay cut is going to be felt, especially at the moment.
But better a pay cut than a redundancy and be scrapping for a job which, probably, won't even be as well paid as their current one after the cuts.
Also, politics is going to cause the workers problems. The union loves it, they'll strike all day long - what does it matter to them? Name in the paper, fight the man. It is the staff who matter.
The state of North Street today is a disgrace and they should be ashamed of themselves in my opinion. If they do not want the job with the terms outlined, no problem. That is their decision. Move on. Let a new wave of unemployed step in and take the job on instead. I'm sure Kitkat at the council is being unreasonable, but that is a separate matter for me. My support was lost when they went out on strike. Repeatedly.
