MORE INCOME CUTS
You have probably received Barrie Crook's, chief officer, COMT highlight report, number 9, July 2008, most of which is about what he calls 'budget planning'.
The report states that all staff will shortly receive a questionnaire with their payslips asking about ECU and car parking options.
The issues around the budget were discussed with operational managers and Barrie Crook suggests that if you have any queries to discuss these queries with your manager. We would suggest that before replying to any questionnaire you discuss any queries with Napo representatives. Once we have seen the questionnaire we will send out further advice.
We believe that the method adopted by Barrie Crook for consultation is an attempt to undermine the opportunity for a collective response from Napo members.
Members will be aware that an ECU agreement was struck with Barrie Crook recently and it only came into effect from the beginning of this year. He knew then about the budget, but barely six months in it is clear he is trying to rip up the agreement. This calls into question the standing of all agreements with HPA and the protection of individual members that these agreements are there to safeguard.
