Sickness shocker

Its reported that employees at Sandwell council had 109648 days of during 2009-10

A Labour representative said its getting better

This is the same as every employee having 10.58 days off each year sick

That’s 2 full weeks

Sandwell Tory said

“Only in Sandwell could they say that’s getting better, in 2008-09 it was 120735

Or 11.39 days off each, mathematically the spokesman was right.

But my question to them is

Is the reporting of sick up to scratch?

What private company could afford these rates?
