ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Branch secretary Rob Evans expressed his disappointment with the attendance, or rather lack of it, at this year’s Annual General Meeting.

“The meeting was barely quorate” said Rob “and with such vital issues facing us all it beggars belief that we cannot turn out in strength at least once a year.

“There are very real threats to our jobs and services ahead and if we are to protect them we must show solidarity at every opportunity.

This year will see us enter the realm of Shared Services, finalise Job Evaluation and the consequences thereon, never mind the back pay issue for Equal Pay claimants, resoling the Pension dispute and more than likely a ballot forcouncil tenants on the solution to meeting the Wales Quality Housing Standard.

“To fail on any of these issues is unthinkable” added Rob. “To fail on more than one could lead to grave consequences indeed. Members have heard a lot of doom and gloom in recent years and to be fair not a lot has happened to jobs and services. However, everyone should recognise this has been down to the co-operation between unions and the council and this should not be underestimated. It is not ‘cry wolf’ again, we are where we are and everyone should know that the pressure is really on this time.”
