Barnet UNISON Guide to Council Budget 2010/11

Barnet UNISON Guide to Council Budget 2010/11

On Monday 11th January the Joint Trade Unions are meeting with our Employers to discuss the Budget Proposals. Formal consultation starts on 18th January so this is just an early introduction to the proposals. We have a series of meetings with Directors to go through their proposals.

This year we are keen to try and encourage members to have a say about the budget proposals. Please take some time to look at the proposals and discuss with colleagues in your team.

Please forward your ideas to contactus@barnetunison.org.uk and we will raise them directly with our employers at the end of the consultation.
