HAVING read the article Sickness Scheme Strike Threat (December 2) I am stunned that union bosses should threaten strike action for a thousand front line staff in City of York Council's adult services department, just because councillors have called for the absurd 28 days average sick leave for its members to be finally looked into.
The phrase swinging the lead comes to mind and human nature dictates that if you can get away with it you will.
So shame on union bosses and well done councillors, stick to your guns and get these terrible figures down to genuine sickness and not a sneeze and cough.
Mr N Hillen,
