Barnet UNISON respond to cuts to Your Choice Barnet care workers

“It is now 2 years since YCB came into being and still there is no evidence-based assurance of the current situation and the direction of travel. The proposals outlined in the document “Growth for Your Choice Barnet” (2014) are largely to be found in the original Business Plan 2012. This begs the question as to what has been done about this situation in those past 2 years. Growth is mentioned but with no baseline projection. Since the most favoured option of cutting staff salaries also mentions a need to grow business, and to maintain or improve staff salaries, we can only conclude there is no evidence this pay cut will be sufficient to protect future business and our members’ terms and conditions. UNISON has grave concerns that there is a high probability that YCB will be coming back with further cuts for their staff.”
