The unions don’t get it. If Reform councils apply very reasonable rules which are standard in the private sector, such as coming into the office or meeting a basic level of performance and the union’s response is strike action, this plays into Reform’s hands and proves their claim about public sector shirkers.
They never miss an opportunity to fearmonger when it comes to drumming up more subs.
Belonging to a Union doesn’t offer you any more employment protection than the law already provides. They could strike but you’ll still get sacked and Reform will win even harder in future.
No better time for them to join a union.
Let local inept Reform councillors deal with unions 👍
I think everyone involved is going to be a bit disappointed.
The equality act remains the law and the obligations on the council remain. Diversity and inclusion officers exist because it is usually easier to consolidate all of that activity into a couple of people, but it is usually possible to spread it out more widely, just usually less efficient.
Most of what ‘DOGE’ theoretically stands for is basically just competent financial management. It isn’t radical to think you need to justify spending and interrogate current budgets, it is business as usual everywhere.
I think anyone expecting a legendary crash out or transformational change is going to be disappointed. The most likely outcome is another meh council.
How is that not true? I have a written agreement from my manager that I may work from home due to a medical reason as a reasonable adjustment. If Reform turned up and tried to take that away, you bet I’m going to sue their asses for direct discrimination.
I think to some unions still have a negative image, partially due to establishment newspapers billing them as the „enemy of change“.
But on the ground level unions can be great. At their best they will push for your rights, they will make sure companies actually follow employment law (and their own policies) properly, and can advise and represent you on issues.
Plus you can claim the membership fees back on tax with a phone call to HMRC.
