Business Support Review

 

Further to the meetings we held in April, we have now taken your concerns to Senior Management and they are in the process of addressing these.  You should have by now received an email from your Business Support Manager updating you on progress and referring you to the updated Q&A section on the Business Support intranet page.  Management have agreed to introduce focus groups to review the generic job descriptions that many of you were concerned about.  I hope some of you will take this opportunity up and we will support you in any way we can.

 

If you have any other concerns please raise these with your manager in the first instance, or if you would like representation when you speak to your manager let us know by calling 0141 881 8257 or email unisoner@yahoo.co.uk.

UNISON’s Manifesto

 

 

UNISON’s local government manifesto was launched recently and proposes to invigorate the debate about how public services in local government are provided. 

 

The manifesto supports delivery of services by directly employed workers rather than any increased reliance on the private sector.  The manifesto is released at a critical time for Scotland’s councils, prior to the local council elections to be held on May 3 2012.

 

The manifesto highlights better ways of working which lead to real improvement rather than simply papering over the cracks. 

 

For more information on the manifesto please visit www.unison-scotland.org.uk or telephone 0845 355 0845.
