Wales's capital faces poorer public services in future under Cardiff council plans to cut its working week, Unison warned yesterday.
Workers at the Labour-run authority will lose almost seven days’ pay a year under the plans and Unison warned that the public will feel the effects.
“It is not our members’ fault that the council are in such a financial mess, yet it is them who are expected to pick up the bill for it,” said branch secretary Spencer Pearce.
“Unison presented a plan to the council in January of this year which would have got them through the next 12 months without impacting on our members’ pay, but they weren’t prepared to listen.
“This morning we met with the new leader who, while being keen to resolve the dispute, did not put anything concrete before us that we could put to our members.”
