Where Has All the Money Gone?
Here's an e-mail from an unhappy reader - and Unison member - from Fife.
Council budgets in Scotland more than doubled in the past ten years - so it's a mystery why redundancies should be necessary in Fife - at this point in 2010.
The current talk about 'cuts' in public spending won't have any practical effect until next year - so what is this all about - councils across Scotland have twice the money to spend that they had ten years ago.
Where has all the money gone?
"Dear Mark,
I have just been made redundant from Fife council today and after reading your blog on Scotlands shame I have to say UNISON ARE AS MUCH GOOD AS A CHOCOLATE FIREGUARD , they have done very little for us and have not kept us informed but then they would not want to upset their council masters.
