This is not Council policy, has not been agreed at Cabinet or Full Council or by the trade unions

Getting full pay for only working four days a week? And they think that will mean doing more work? Seriously? 🤷🏻♂️ It’s an insult to those working in the private sector and elsewhere in the public sector.
