Whether you accept the total figure as £5.4million, or the adjusted figure of £3.1million, there's no denying that's a lot of revenue funding that could have been spent elsewhere ...
... it's frankly pretty poor to claim that the Department in question absorbed the cost and still returned a balanced budget - any idiot can work out that if the strike had been avoided there would be somewhere between £3.1 to £5.4million surplus that could have been spent on other services.
It's money (revenue monies, not capital monies) down the drain, that could have funded many, many services within the city ...
... all the posturing in the world can't hide that fact.
