“We are not the rubbish we collect”.
Mill Hill Depot and Outsourcing
UNISON has made strong approaches to the Council and to the Barnet Group to stop plans to hand over the staff and running of the service to the Barnet Group. Unified Pay was brought in to harmonise terms and conditions for all council staff but a TUPE transfer will drive a coach and horses through this. We also believe there are enough problems to sort out at the depot without the added pressure of preparing for a transfer. They are:
- Health and Safety
- Depot move
- Unified Pay
Each of these issues reveals a minefield of other problems. A leaflet has been produced for all our depot workers titled: “We are not the rubbish we collect”.
