Again wheres the job creation? Councils works should be contratced out to private sector to improve productivity and a lot of the Pubic Service shopuld be privatised too.

Remember the IMF will monitor us Quarterly so we could have more cuts on a quarterly basis if they feel its needed.

Unless Pubic Service waste and job creation are dealt with properly then we wont sort out this mess in any time soon.

This is entirely correct ...... even if Westie said it!

Their refusal to take cuts like everyone else is holding the country back.This coupled with their poor productivity adds to the issue. Councils are laughingly unproductive. Hows a group of guys standing around a poll or a pothole doing nothing dont feel like fools is beyond me.

Heres an example of councils for you. When i go to teh gym i always pass a guy driving the road sweeper and he always has one of the street sweepers in the truck with him doing f'all. Speaking of street sweepers (who are on good money incidently) they stop their work and walk back to the base for their break and then when their break is over walk back to where they were again. So this could be a half hour each way and its taken outside of their break time.So your talking on average a whole hour everyday doing f'all. In other word a whole days pay over the course of a week goes to these guys walking to their lunch break.

Unreal,
Westside.
