URGENT: Message to all Barnet Council UNISON members (excluding schools staff).

Dear UNISON member

As you all know Barnet Council UNISON members (excluding schools staff) are taking strike action on Wednesday 7 October.

Over the past two weeks we have been busy contacting our members by letter, meetings, phone, text and email.

However, last week we noticed that our weekly Enews which is sent to all of our members was not being delivered to our members working for Barnet Council.

We have conducted investigations to see if the problem was at our end. Our emails have been going to other employers emails and private email addresses, so it is clear that the problem lies with the IT service provided Capita.

I have written to senior officers of the Council and Capita to try to establish why all of a sudden Barnet UNISON emails were not reaching our members.

In the meantime it is important that our members are kept up to date on the details of the strike.

Please report to one of the following picket lines

1. Barnet House—From 7 am

Picket Line Coordinator: Helen Davies 07432733168
