staff cuts

Just heard that all 4200 employees at Hammersmith and Fulham council have been issued with redundancy notices, as the charming Tory council there pushes through new contracts and worsened terms and conditions.

My contacts tell me the unions have been told that staff must sign new contracts, or get lost.

You can expect standards in care, education, and housing services, etc, in Hammersmith to take a dive (if they continue at all) from now on.

Have a look at this if you want to know more about the terrible effects that Tories cuts are having on staff and public services at local councils. Don't EVER buy into David Cameron's fluffy Tories salespitch - these people are vicious, and interested only in destroying the health, education and care services that people who aren't fillthy rich (ie most of us) need.

Am going to do some interviewing this weekend on this, so will be back with more soon.
