Due to the Bank Holiday we haven’t produced a One Voice
newsletter this week, so have decided on a brief update via the Blogspot.
Members are starting to return Letter B (unfair dismissal claims) to branch
office and as at Wednesday lunchtime the figure stood at around 300 returned
letters. Other unions have also had
large numbers returned. We are ever
hopeful that DMBC will enter into further negotiations over Terms &
Conditions, but while they persist with the “see you in court” attitude, Doncaster
UNISON will defend it’s members with every means available .
Staff Car Parking Charges is once again on the agenda for
DMBC. After being shelved for a time, to
concentrate on cutting your Terms & Conditions, DMBC have now put forward
proposals to charge staff for the use of 4 town centre car parks; Council
House, Scarborough House, North Bridge and Chappell Drive.
Do we think the current system is fair? No we don’t!
Do we think these proposals are fair? No we don’t!
Due to the new found confidence in attacking members
pay, at a recent consultation meeting DMBC have stated that these charges will
be introduced on 1st July along with the expansion of a car pool
system or unknown, worse proposals will be imposed. We believe that members will see that this is just another
way to attack a group workers in isolation. Negotiations are ongoing with DMBC, but the deadline of 1st July is looming large. We have asked our stewards to forward to branch office any thoughts that they and our members may have on the matter to incorporate into these negotiatioons.
