TUESDAY 11 NOVEMBER

Barack Obama says Barnet residents/service users/staff

"Change is coming and YES YOU CAN....have a say how your services are delivered and paid for!"

Colleagues

Please take the time to read this letter. It deals with employment issues such as TUPE and the impact on your terms and conditions including your pension. It is clear that if the Council genuinely want to make sure none of these private don't attack your terms and conditions they need to sign up to TUPE PLUS

Beware, you will hear some say the Trade Unions are alarmist, scaremongering. Some will say staff have nothing to fear with privatisation.

Key Briefing on In House transformation

Recommendations:

The Council should ensure that the Future Shape of the Council programme adopts the key components of this initial transformation strategy:

“What has been going on in the consultation meetings?”

 Since the Cabinet report we have had very little to look at. However we have been using the time to try to research what is happening in other Councils across the UK

The Future Shape of the Council programme is reviewing outsourced services. The trade unions welcome these reviews and want to ensure they are comprehensive and rigorous so that lessons can be learnt.

Recommendations

MAKE SURE YOU PUT THE DATES IN YOUR DIARY
