PUNITIVE SANCTIONS
Napo and Union representatives attended a Job Evaluation Panel on the 16th July. We had an initial discussion and then decided not to be a part of the panel. The panels are intended to be jointly owned with equal representation. Both union representatives have since been told that HPA will not pay their travelling expenses. This is quite unprecedented. We held serious concerns about the operation of the panel and could not, in light of those concerns, sit on the panel. We could not reconcile sitting on that particular panel with our duty to represent the best interests of our members.
Had we sat on the panel our fares would have been paid.
So, in response, though retaliation seems more apt, our expenses have been blocked. We will brief members further at the next branch meetings.
This download will explain the basics of JE to those unfamiliar with it's methodology.
