CONFERENCE 2007 Shared services jobs warning The temptation to see shared services - where councils or other organisations join up to provide local service - as the solution to all funding problems was slammed by the Local Government Conference. As Edinburgh's motion to UNISON Scotland recently pointed out, there is a huge danger of pay and conditions being forced down, democratic accountablitiy being lost and privatisation taking over. Because of our involvment in setting Scottish policy, Edinburgh's Kevin Duguid spoke in support of the motion which demanded support for lawful industrial action where branches are campaigning against loss of jobs, cuts in pay and loss of conditions of service threatened by shared services. See the UNISON Scotland website for a briefing on shared services. |
