I have a straight forward take on that. Any time I have to choose between them I choose public because I can’t trust private to treat me fairly; that's because they care about their own private profit first. <br />Cllr Terry Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285923851619030726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35177951.post-2892853954790018222012-10-07T14:15:28.694+00:002012-10-07T14:15:28.694+00:00Kelly @ 7.49

Byeck said...Kelly @ 5.53 Friday, October 05, 2012 <br /><br />Unions and their members have always strived to avoid strikes and one of the ways of doing this is to have proper union representation in the work place. <br /><br />In the case of councils run by wise Labour councillors like me this includes those with a large enough workforce to justify the practice of having a full time officer paid for (gladly) by the council. <br /><br />This should cheer you when you hear that it has proved a money saver and good for morale and when morale is good production is also good, it may well not have reached you yet but it is called progress. <br />Cllr Terry Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285923851619030726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35177951.post-53205012489352465962012-10-05T18:17:51.462+00:002012-10-05T18:17:51.462+00:00Kelly @ 5.53
