30,th of june strike action

My best example of public sector inefficiency is the local council sawmill up in Beecraigs country park. Visiting it one day to see their operation I was amazed by the level of machinery (huge Stenner and enough secondary kit to fill the 20 by 30 metre shed) but stunned by the lack of productivity. The saw operator said to me that they just produce enough to stay open, and no more. All that equipment, 2 to 3 men operating the mill at all times and only producing around 3 cubic metres of posts and rails a day. A good woodmizer operator would easily do twice that for a fraction the cost.

 

 

I think the state is on a hiding to nothing here

 

Imagine the mill with sparks coming off the wheels turning out all they needed and more, then turning to the private market for more work to fill the day, the cries of subsidised industry wrecking the market would be loud and long.

 

Just another take on it….
