Staff Number Up Yet Again

by Bigfeller 29 Apr 2008, 2:32pm

The Draft Detailed Budget Document shows that Service Unit staff have risen yet again. Up from 1028 to 1035. At a time when the community called for Council to get its house in order this increse does not seem reasonable.

I'm a young professional working in local government. We can save hundreds of jobs by better use of technology, but the old guard sticks with old ways and doesn't give us a chance!

It would seem the Mayor does not even use e-mail!!! Its 2008 not 1910!!

If Council used email and its web site more it could save a massive amout of funds. After all about 60% of Newcastle households have the internet and there is a plathora of internet access in the community.

Let the young ones have a go!!!
