Chances of
@BhamCityCouncil cabinet rejecting deal? I’d say zero. Nobody wants this to drag on any longer...not least residents.1 antwoord 1 retweet 0 vind-ik-leuksDeze collectie tonen -
Since the dispute started there have been three days of strike action - each costing
@BhamCityCouncil an estimated £500k. That’s a staggering £1.5million. Cost of coping with overtime ban and work to rule in place since the end of December has been estimated at £350k a week.1 antwoord 0 retweets 1 vind-ik-leukDeze collectie tonen -
And let’s not even think about the legal costs. On top of that
@BrumLeader has to face down a mutiny from a significant group of his own backbenchers for taking the unions to court - a gamble that backfired.1 antwoord 2 retweets 1 vind-ik-leukDeze collectie tonen -
But...having said all that...I do hope this really is it, for the sake of every household in the city who’ve been caught in the middle.
