Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

in staff would mean a cut in transport services was given last week by Mr. A. B. Findlay. general manager of Leeds Transport Department.

He said that the department lost another 54 employees last month. There were 34 recruits, but 88 men left. Altogether, over 350 workers were wanted.

Mr. Findlay added; "The five-day week is ruining all kinds of transport."

He said that it had been possible to provide adequate services at peak periods only by the willingness of the staff to work overtime. But the staff would not take overtime turns which ended after 7 p.m. on Saturdays, and the management thought it would lose more men if it insisted on a greater proportion of night turns being worked.
