If only City Councils up and down the country had decided to fight this nonsense to the bitter end. Glasgow here, in the link, is just one example. Women whingeing because dinner ladies are getting less than refuse collectors, a much more unpleasant, outdoor job. The term bin-men arose because it’s usually men who do these less desirable jobs, and the catering women were welcome to apply to become a ‘bin-person’, to get the extra couple of quid per hour.

Of course, since it’s the (apparently) bottomless pit of taxpayer money which funds the Councils, it’s so much easier for them simply to capitulate. Until the money runs out.
