£5m reasons to sign up





City's warning over contracts to 1300 workers
LETTERS have gone out to 1300 Glasgow City Council staff telling them they will be axed if they do not sign up to new terms and conditions.
Roads and parks workers and street sweepers have been asked to sign new contracts that will result in them working four days on and four days off.
Council bosses say the move is necessary to improve services and save more than £5million over two years.
Under the contracts, staff will have to work an 11-hour day but will work 66 fewer days each year. Bosses also say workers' pay will not be affected and some will earn almost £1000 a year more.

Wonder what will happen with the six women staff and their legal battle for equal pay?

and more will lose more than £1000 take home pay or otherwise how will they save £5m. They're trying to impose itbecause there is no way on earth they could convince their workforce this is a good move, You know you sign up for a five day week with overtime and the occasional weekend worked voluntarily and then you must work every other weekend as if they were week days. Some staff will retain their Monday to Friday working week. I think they're called management.

If you wish to put your bins out on a Friday or Saturday night contact your councillor now. Ask them how this improves the service. Will weekend burials be cheaper?

Howdy,

The plot thickens - hasn't Steven Purcell promised a Glasgow Living Wage, where every council worker is guaranteed £7 per hour? Hardly seems a cost saving maneouvre, for the council or the taxpayers.

Should play well for his future career though.

The minimum wage for council workers is already £6.51 an hour thanks to actions by workers last year. 81 people will benefit from this move.

81x9x35x52=

Let's see if your maths is as good as your spelling.

I see that your spelling's better than your maths. The sum should be 81x49x35x52.

too late, The council will not be employing newstaff and will rely on agency workers. So once these staff get their pay rise on 1st April and move onto their next increment my formula will still be more accurate than yours.

Yawn...

I see yet another thread is being reduced to 'spelling' and 'numeracy skills' and who has the greater command of each!

I am sure the GCC workers are reading your views with baited breath. After all, its these poor sods that are being shafted, but if we can 'divert' attention from that situation to something else....

The 81 GCC workers are getting a rise. So who's being shafted apart from the sods who want to be employed by GCC? certainly not the tax payers.

Howdy,

National minimum wage - £5.73 per hour. Proposed GCC minimum wage - £7.00 per hour. An artificially high pay rate won't shaft the taxpayers?
