Little local difficulty in Edinburgh at the moment with the application of the 'modernising pay' agenda --- some of the detail can be found here.Almost nothing gets the local press into an "anti-Council" mode quicker than rubbish piling up on the streets: I'd humbly suggest that the current Council Administration pay some serious attention to getting this problem sorted as soon as possible!

Well Andrew what would you suggest? Do you have any proposals you would care to share?
How did the Council end up in this mess with bin men paid a £7000 a year 'attendance bonus' ? Surely that can't be a bonus for turning up?

Thanks for the comment.
Well, I most certainly would not have sanctioned (although I'm fairly convinced that the current politicians 'in charge' may not actually be so) bringing all of this to a potential conclusion in the run-up to the Summer months. Not clever.
And, I would not have sanctioned the dispatch of individual letters to members of staff telling them (in effect) how much money they may lose BEFORE any obvious conclusion to negotiations with the Unions.
The way this whole episode has been handled is poor.
