Minutes: The Committee considered Councillor Rawlings’ representation on the item.
The Chief Operating Officer/Director of Finance informed the committee that the Budget set by Council in March 2014 agreed to reduce Trade Unions core funding, leaving a smaller, flexible budget. The Chief Operating Officer/Director of Finance circulated a paper at the meeting advising that: - The Council will ensure sufficient Trade Union time is made available to support key changes that impact on staff, as they arise. Negotiations to agree this release time are still underway - The Council will ensure that key union representatives are released as appropriate to support this work. - The budget reduction means a change in how Trade Unions work with the Council; Officers have been in discussions and offering support for Trade Unions to adjust to this new model, requiring less central TU resource, greater delegation and recognising the need to make the most of local representation. - The HR Director explained there was an expectation for the use of more local representatives by the trade unions to ensure there is sufficient capacity across the organisation and offered time to the trade unions to build this capacity. - Senior Officers and the HR Director will meet with Trade Union representatives on 16 July 2014 to review proposals for additional facilities time. The Committee requested that Officers bring an update report to the next meeting of the committee.
RESOLVED – That the report be noted. |
