The GMB union rightly highlights the need for English councils to pursue council taxpayers who fail to pay their council tax. £835m was outstanding debt last year. However, rather than chastise those who don't pay and highlight the additional costs to those who do, the GMB believe that if tenants aren't prepared to pay their council tax, their landlords should pay. How else can their members' pensions be paid when they retire!?!
Will the GMB support measures to reduce tenancy rights so that landlords have a greater chance of evicting tenants who fail to pay their rent or council tax?
Why should council tax pay for staff pensions rather than current council services? Will the GMB campaign to reform this area of local finance or indeed, for fewer council staff?
