Letter: Mail Box - Council Staff

Apr 13 2008 Mrs L.M. Macleod

RE Elaine C. Smith's article on council spending and cuts: how true it was. Why should council staff be allowed the equivalent of three weeks sick pay each year when we poor souls are penalised when we're off for any length of time and are given warnings for being off for too long in each working year?

Why should our hard-earned cash be funding them instead of vital services? - Mrs L.M. MacLeod, Westhill, Aberdeenshire.
