Re: Compulsory sick leave for Civil Servants
I've never excused it, trust me on this, I'm involved in highlighting it and trying to get the standards raised, my point was that you perceived an anti-CS/PS agenda, however it's just poor journalism. There are plenty of times when SIPTU acting for the PS has had statements reproduced and agendas printed without qualification as if they were fact. The point is it works both ways, and you have to be mindful of opening a can of worms that may ultimately harm your cause.
As always, if it is such a egregious error/untruth, do what most do and send a letter to the Editor to clarify. It's limp and lame and it will never repair the damage fully though, but at least it's something on record.
Yes, but as a Civil Servant I am objecting to a lie printed about us in the paper. If lies are printed about other groups, they should also object. Saying it happens all the time doesn't excuse it or mean people who have been unfairly insulted should just put up with it.
