It’s more complicated than that but the big picture was unionised workers (like bin men) were better at pay negotiations but councils fudged this and paid them bonuses to make up the difference rather than lift the pay bandings (which would have meant workers at the same grade doing other roles got paid more too). This disproportionately impacted women who did a lot of the basic clerical and cleaning roles.Why does everyone get a bonus - What is it actually for -surely they take the jobs on the pay they are offered - The only bonus I had was a pen with company name on then went to USA on BA and they sold the same pen with their name on for £2.
If you messed up at work you were either demoted or moved sideways - I knew at lot of useless workers who were moved sideways and it always ended up being a cusshy job.
If a man on the street can see what the council is wasting so much money on why don't the council workers see the same thing or is it bonus related.
