‘Hypocrite’ Tory cuts union rep funding
Council leader who hired a £42k a year adviser cuts facility time
A TORY council leader was accused of “gross hypocrisy” yesterday for attempting to slash union facility time while hiring her own £42,000-a-year adviser.
Portsmouth City Council seems “hell-bent” on worsening industrial relations by slashing the funding for trade union reps who represent workers, Unite said.
The union called the plans “self-defeating” as reps taking facility time provide representation to workers, smoothing out the disciplinary process and averting possible escalations into a potential industrial dispute.
