It is sad that people are taking industrial action. The council is required by law to implement a pay and grading review. In Birmingham we have done a better job than average with only 14% losers. Average is 20% and Wolverhampton is 24%.

Lots of research into this has happened over the years and now I think it is clear why this is. It raises some interesting questions. Biological youth is about how well a cell functions. Cells that are old in a biological sense don't work that well. One of the ways in which cells stop working is they fail to produce the full range of proteins.
