Sir, - It is obvious that Dr Michael Woods has a great sense of humour. He is threatening to stop teachers' salaries on December 21st, but who is he asking to stop the salaries? None other than the public servants in his own Department who have been on a work to rule (which we support) for a considerable length of time! I thought he was insisting that we are all the same in the public service.
I would like to recommend some Christmas reading for Dr Woods: Dickens' Christmas Carol. I hope he does not have the same nightmares, but Happy Christmas, Dr Scrooge. - Yours, etc.,
