Update: Barnet Council Finances
Some Barnet Council staff have been briefed about the Council finances which included confirmation that the Council has had an agreement with the Government for financial support.
At the same time, we are supporting UNISON members who being issued with redundancy notices.
Barnet UNISON is concerned that the Council has not provided a serious response to the recommendations outline in our report which was submitted to the Council last year.
It would be fair to say that feedback from our members is that they feel that once again it is the rest of the workforce which are being asked to take the brunt of the cuts.
In a report to the Employment Sub-Committee a decision to delete a Director role was overturned and the Executive Director has been asked to make a similar saving from lower graded management staff.
Please see below a reminder of the actions UNISON submitted as an alternative to cuts.

Dear Barnet UNISON member
Barnet UNISON is pleased to announce that a joint visit with Barnet UNISON and the Leader of Barnet Council to South Cambridgeshire is being arranged for March this year.
See Headline below
“In 2023, the first ever UK council trial got underway. South Cambridgeshire District Council became the first UK council to trial a four-day week with a three month trial for desk-based staff that began in January 2023. The move involved staff reducing their hours to 30 hours per week and with no loss of pay.”

At a time when our members are worried about redundancies and cuts this revolutionary approach to employment is something that Barnet UNISON feels needs to be explored for our members.
Barnet UNISON has invited Liz Brennan South Cambridgeshire UNISON Branch Secretary to come and speak to members about the Pilot and what it means for UNISON members.
Come along and listen to Liz tell this positive story.
