Southampton District UNISON Branch
8 May 2012
As UNISON
predicted last year, if the Conservative’s cut our pay, they would
lose control of Southampton City Council. This has now
happened and a new Labour Administration will take control of
Southampton City Council next week. I would like to thank all
the UNISON members in Southampton who supported our unions campaign
for a Labour victory. Special thanks to all the Regional staff
who took leave from work to campaign for a Labour victory in the
week preceding the election. We now have an opportunity to
rebuild industrial relations in the Council and to establish a
normal relationship with our employers. I know most senior
Council managers wish for this to happen as well. UNISON and
Unite are meeting this afternoon to prepare for our first meeting
with the new Administration.
-
Policies to avoid future
redundancies.
-
Rebuilding of industrial relations.
Royston Smith, the
Conservative Council and their supporters amongst the senior
managers in the Council have, over the last four years, tried to
destroy the trade unions. It is they who are now history.
UNISON will in the coming months ensure that Council wages and
conditions are restored, compulsory redundancies are avoided and
that Council workers and their trade unions are properly consulted
on and involved in the major decisions taken by our employer.
Best wishes
