Unison union chief David Stirzaker said the proposals were "unnecessary, undiplomatic and very stupid". Staff earned £10,000-£13,000 a year and face 16% cuts to "market levels" with holidays down from 33 to 27 days. ——————————————————————————————————3/3—— Uproar at Gas plan to cut staff pay 310 WHAT'S THE LOCAL TRAFFIC LIKE? p193 Next page Headlines Regional Roads
