You will be aware that UNISON recently held a ballot on the councils proposed changes to terms and conditions.

The Council’s proposal was:

• The Council will adopt an enforced Christmas closure for a temporary three year period from 1st April 2017 to 31st March 2020, at which point this agreement will cease, and the current position would be re-instated.
• This would have a direct impact on all employees EITHER through the deduction of 3 days’ pay, and subsequent granting of three additional days’ leave, deductions to be offered through a salary sacrifice scheme, thereby protecting redundancy and pension entitlements OR through the fixing of the three concessionary days to Christmas for the period of this proposal. This proposal delivers a saving of £1.1m.

The result of the Consultative ballot was:

To accept the proposal 56%
To reject the proposal 44%

UNISON will now enter into discussions with the Council about the implementation of a Collective Agreement.
