I can see by all the anti unison replies that it looks like ER and his band of merry men no longer have the majority backing of the workforce.
Not only do I read it on here, i hear it in the watch room, in trucks, at A&E, on stations nights out. When I used to do CTA everyone in EOC has had enough.
People have had enough.
The first thing the unions done was sign up to that partnership deal, ok so we got a hefty payrise, but at what cost?
Signing away stand by agreement, single movements, annual leave agreement etc.
Then the Agenda for Change and the total balls up for that for EMT.
I do have it the ER does get band 8 as it is a "specialist" role.
Now the latest coup de gras is this "better ways of working",
again ER has rolled over on this one, Judge Dread may say that there is no need to consulate the unions on this, well I am sorry JD, but if something as big as this is going to happen it will effect all our working lives and anyone that says the unions have not been consulted on this Better Ways Of Working document is a liar.
Then we have numerous cases of members not being able to get hold of ER, my station emailed him a number of times and never once got a reply.
When one of our mates got put on a fizzer, ER said he was too busy and sent a boy along to try and sort it out. The handling of the case was a total fiasco.
Again ER never replied to a single email my station sent.
He never returned phone calls either.
Our Green staff are working more hours than they are getting paid for, ER has not replied to emails or phone calls.
Two DSO told me about two weeks ago HQ love ER, he does not rock the boat, does as he is told and I am also lead to believe there are emails floating about that confirm this.
How can one man be in a position for so long?, and if unison does not have the majority of the membership of the LAS, how comes he is still the chief negoiator ?
Of couse Judge Dread (so obviously ER's side kick) will say "we have elections" well how comes only 2 people out of 17 on my station got election forms? All unison members.
I walked away from unison about 4 years ago, the subs are far too much, the reps are not up to much, they never tell you what's going on and as soon as this ASU/GMB venture get their acts together then it will be adios ER and shut the door on the way out.
As someone replied on here a few days ago, how can the union that does not hold the majority of the membership of the workers be the ones that represent me.
NB
