Town Hall staff to strike?

Weatherfield Town Hall staff are preparing to strike following massive job cuts. The union for the staff said "We're supposed to be trying to make our way through this recession together, and all the Tory government can think about is job cuts, it's Thatcherism making it's ugly return. They may be cutting jobs, but they don't seem to realise, that puts more people on the dole."

The Town Hall isnt the only place affected by the recent job cuts, a number of doctors and nurses at Weatherfield General Hospital have also been made redundant.
