What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Current and former staff are pursuing a collective grievance against Herefordshire Council through Unison. During the grievance procedure, the council has experienced a sharp drop in staff attendance. Between June and August this year, staff worked less than two-thirds of their scheduled days, with the workforce of 13 or 14 missing over 300 days during that period.
