Monday, April 02, 2007

This morning we've received an email telling us that the Opposition parties on the Council voted against their pay rises.

Inspector Sands said...: Well, it's not as if they've worked for their pay rises. They're as part of the problem as the party clique which is currently in power.; 10:49 pm

They wanted 50% of the recommended pay for everyone. Which would have brought it out at nearly the same amount as everyone is currently paid. Effectively they didn't want anyone to get any more than a small (inflation I guess) increase.

Think of this, if 100% of the pay rise had gone though the administration would have awarded themselves even more money.; 4:08 pm
