STOP GAGGING LOCAL UNIONS IN BARNET COUNCIL


TO: RICHARD CORNELIUS LEADER OF BARNET COUNCIL

Dear Mr Cornelius  It is clear from your own website that Barnet Council has already embarked on a radical outsourcing policy which has had a significant impact on former and current Council workers. Surely you must recognise the importance for staff to be represented and supported by a trade union?  Facility Time is good practice and is a means by which trade unions can carry out what are often demanding and complex roles which includes provision of advice to members, formal representation of members in grievance and disciplinary hearings and negotiating with managers over terms and conditions, outsourcing, restructures, cuts to services.
