Im sure you can understand this though -
"Staff sickness absences have cost Cardiff council £134m in less than a decade with tens of thousands of days lost to illness every year.
Figures obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show the annual cost of staff sick days rose from £15.6m in 2007-8 to a high of £18.2m in 2012-13.
Since then the numbers have been falling and in 2015-16 – the most recent data available – the cost was £10.4m.
The highest number of days of sickness absence in a single year was in 2007-08, when 163,509 days were lost.
Over the nine years from 2007-08 to 2015-16 a total of 1.22m days were lost at a total cost to taxpayers of exactly £134m."
This has nothing to do re Carillion though -
just gives you an idea of the mindset of a public sector workforce - that was in place when worked in the Council and looks like it is still there. It's not until such a mindset is got rid of that Govt building will ever come back into being the public sector again - in my opinion - and it seems the previous Labour and Conservative Govts feel the same way.
Carillion it seems was the best halfway house - uk company being given uk building contracts - but even then it was fecked up by greed and mis management. If the Govt had given Carillion workers - people would be demanding british jobs for british workers in british companies, which is what happened - and now people are complaining that the Govt was awarding those contracts in the first place!!!!
