Catering and Cleaning face crisis as cuts bite
Catering is set to lose 90 jobs and Cleaning faces a drive for voluntary redeployment, voluntary severance and early retirement as the council's budget cuts begin to bite.
A huge union and public campaign earlier this year succeeded in cutting the jobs losses down from 350 and a deal was reached to ensure that any changes faced by staff would be voluntary.
But recently staff have faced pressure from managers to change hours and workplace.
UNISON stepped in to challenge this and raised a further dispute about job adverts appearing in the Evening News, when the voluntary trawl was not completed."Members must get in touch the moment any problem arises", said George Lee, manual convener.
"UNISON is here to help you and we will react immediately and decisively if and when we hear of this happening again", he added.
The cutbacks resulted from cuts earlier in the year which meant that:
- The contract price has been cut. That means the job that both Catering and Cleaning do has been changed by the council.
- Because of this, less hours are needed in some areas and less staff are expected to do more in others.
- In Catering, the main reason is that the council has stopped the school meals subsidy.
In Catering the jobs affected will include cooks, APT&C, supervisory and management.
Staff in both Catering and Cleaning will face the following:-
- Voluntary redeployment to other jobs in house
- Voluntary severance
- Early retirement
Cutting hours?
Voluntary arrangements for changing jobs and hours to avoid redundancies have been in place since early in the year.
These arrangements are VOLUNTARY and members should not be being forced into any changes. Contact your UNISON rep if you are being put under any pressure.

New safety check at Wellington
The move for most central offices to Wellington Court faced crisis when Education staff threatened to walk out because of cold conditions.
UNISON stepped in quickly and management promptly took action to resolve the situation.
Things were now reported to be settling down in the new open plan offices but branch Health & Safety Officer Danny Currie is about to carry out a full risk assessment now that the staff are in the building.
Danny had already inspected the building prior to the move and several problems were sorted out.
"But it is essential that a further assessment is done when the office is populated to check that there are no new hazards in light of staff's experience", said Danny.
Leisure Trust to pay up at last?
Edinburgh Leisure workers may yet get the full 1998 pay award following hard negotiations by UNISON.
The attempt to link the pay deal to conditions changes has been abandoned, and the full 3% pay may yet be fully backdated to April 1998.
The deal means:
- 1.5% now, backdated to 1 April,
- another 1.5% on 1 January
- backdating the January 1.5% to April subject to finances allowing.
"The union will still lodge Industrial Tribunals because we believe staff are covered by TUPE regulations, but we will withdraw the claims if the full amount is backdated", said Morag Stevenson, Branch secretary.
"This whole episode shows the dangers of outsourcing, and the importance of TUPE protection", she added.
"The council says it is committed to national conditions.
"It cannot wash its hands of its own arms length organisations and it must insist they comply".
Organising for real best value
For anyone who is not yet aware, the branch has a 'Best Value' working group.
Currently we are attending all stewards committees to gauge how we can best support stewards and members in dealing with best value reviews.We have also drafted a definition of what we think best value should be and a document on the procedural conduct of all best value reviews. We will be making proposals about a consultative forum of users and providers of services for best value reviews to council officials.
These have not been agreed by council yet but we hope that the council will recognise that UNISON is offering them a workable approach to deliver real best value.
As well as updating stewards, we hope to use UNISONNews to keep members up to date.
Should any member wish further information or advice about any review, please contact me at the branch office.
We have lots of documents on best value in the branch but members looking for specific documents should first contact their steward or convener who will contact us if they do not have the required papers.

Housing Reorganisation
UNISON has welcomed statements from the council that they will not go for wholesale housing stock transfer like Glasgow or Dundee.
But the Housing Department is facing yet another reorganisation 20 to 30 job losses projected. Discussions have started on matching processes.
"We are worried management will use this to push down grades in the name of 'Best Value', or 'Cheapest is Best' as we now know it", said John Ross, APT&C convener.
City Officers in jobs fight
Members have rejected plans to merge the City Officers and Chauffeurs duties and management's response has been to threaten outsourcing.
"We are curious to see how the Lord Provost will cope with being ferried about by Group 4, or being preceded into meetings with a City Officer with 'sponsored by Volkswagen' on his coat", said John Ross, APT&C convener.
John also reports that the council plans to make one employee redundant, despite other posts being available and despite being employed for three years on a temporary contract.
After being made redundant, the staff member can apply for their own job.
"This smacks of a possible Industrial Tribunal", said John.
Pay changes for weekly paid staf
Due to the millennium bug, the council will have to shut down its payroll computer for a week for adjustments.
As a result, weekly paid staff will have their pay dates altered as follows:
28 Jan 99 - staff get two weeks pay
4 Feb 99 - no pay
11 Feb 99 - a week's pay as normal, to include any outstanding overtime and/or bonus payments.
A people's manifesto for Scotland's services
UNISON has launched Serving Scotland, the first ever manifesto for Scotland's public services.
As the new Scottish Parliament approaches, UNISON is giving a lead by campaigning for the services that the people of Scotland value so highly.
And the union wants to involve the people in that campaign.
"The people of Scotland voted year after year for high quality, accountable public services. They voted for a Scottish Parliament so those services could be protected and improved.
"We want to put those services, and the people who provide them, back on the agenda", said Mike Kirby, UNISON Scotland Convener.
The manifesto will call for the union to "engage the community" by reaching out into the communities of Scotland, "Listening, consulting and responding to the demands that the Scottish people will make of our parliament, our government and their public services".
In a first for any trade union in Scotland, the manifesto was set to be simultaneously launched on the Internet.
The document stresses three main issues:-
"Our services must be responsive to the needs and wishes of the Scottish people - giving them a say in their services.
"Our services must be the best that can be delivered - choosing quality.
"Our services must be provided by a public services team, a workforce trained and qualified, treated fairly and equally, with the resources to deliver - choosing teamwork".
The document will go out to branches, political parties, MSP candidates, voluntary organisations, councils and all areas of Scottish life.
As part of the campaign, UNISON will be calling for meetings with parties and a range of organisations across the country.
Branches will be urged to co-ordinate area events to show how well the public services team can serve Scotland - but also how their services are hit by cuts, privatisation and outsourcing.
Edinburgh
There has already been a briefing in Edinburgh for branches across the Lothians.
"There was an enthusiastic response to this positive campaign", said John Stevenson, branch communications officer and chair of UNISON Scotland's Commun-ications and Campaigns Committee.
"It is an opportunity to involve our members and the public to campaign on what we are FOR - publicly run, accountable and quality services."
Groups will now be set up involving branches from all services in the area to make sure the campaign involves everyone.
Single Status deal to go to ballot
Unions are close to a local government Single Status deal to go out to branches and members for full consultation.
Part of the process is the setting up of a new Scottish Council negotiating structure since the Scottish employers have now left the UK national bargaining machinery.
"Hopefully the deal will mean that Single Status in Scotland will be significantly improved on the national package", said Douglas Black, Edinburgh joint branch secretary and chair of UNISON's Scottish Local Government Service Group.
Both the APT&C and Manual & Craft committees have agreed a framework for consultation to involve:
- briefings to branches and members
- a special conference on the issue
- a ballot of all affected members, probably in January or February 1999.
If accepted, the deal would be implemented from 1 April 1999.
The employers are reported to be sticking on "Option B" whereby they want to delay the reduction in the working week from 1999 to 2000, because they say they can't afford it.
"It has been a difficult 18 months however we do now have some progress on Single Status in Scotland" added Douglas.
"We have consistently condemned the employers' decision to leave the UK framework but now our prime concern is to make sure there are proper systems in Scotland to represent our members interests", he added.
All the main unions are backing the consultation process.
The City of Edinburgh Council has approached the unions for talks on how Single Status will apply but, as yet the staff side are reluctant to discuss this until the national position is clear.
NOTE: Craft workers have a separate deal on pay and a reduced working week by 1 April 1999.
Are you working 48 hours?
The branch is urging stewards to identify members who will be affected by the new 48 hour maximum week under the 'Working Time Directive'.
John Mulgrew, service conditions coordinator, has written to all stewards committees, but responses are slow in coming.
"The 48 hours does not include voluntary overtime and unfortunately it does not apply to residential workers", explained John.
He is particularly keen to hear from voluntary sector members.
Election could mean more cuts
Initial reports suggest the council could be looking at a £12 million cut next year as part of its three year spending plan.
But the crisis could be even worse, up to £20 million, if the Labour Party is tempted to go for no council tax rise in the run up to the elections.
A council tax rise of just 3% would bring in between £6 and £8 million, closer to a standstill budget than another round of damaging cuts.
Social Work
Management restructuringUNISON is concerned that more 'downsizing' from the Social Work management restructuring will further increase stress levels.
The branch is already dealing with numerous stress and harassment cases.
"While we need more people at the coal face, the job is also being made harder by having too few managers", said APT&C convener John Ross.
On the negotiating Line...
Part time and job share overtime deal
A new agreement means that part time and job share workers will now be able to claim overtime outwith the standard working day.
Up till now, many part time and job share could only claim overtime after they had done full time equivalent hours.
The new deal recognises that enhanced rates should be paid for work, eg in the evenings and at weekends.
Unfortunately the deal does not cover all workers, for example those in shift jobs.
"This is a step in the right direction", said negotiator John Mulgrew, "and a step we hope to build on in the future".
Time to check your budget figures
All stewards should be checking their department or employer's figures now as to projected overspends or underspends, because they will impact on next year's budget.
This is the plea from the Service Conditions Team as the six monthly budget out-turn figures become available.
"It is not just council departments, but also joint boards and voluntary organisations that should be trying to assess the situation now", said John Mulgrew, branch service conditions convener.
The projected cut for next year looks like at least 5% or around £20 million on a nil council tax increase, as is widely rumoured.
"That makes it important that we identify exactly what that will mean for our jobs and Edinburgh's services now, so the campaign can begin to defend them", added John.
Home care travel and safety talks
The wrangle about home helps travelling expenses to and from jobs trundles on.
For many years staff were paid travelling expenses to their first client and from their last client back.The council has for some time been trying to get rid of these taxable expenses and UNISON has been resisting.
Things stay as they are just now as negotiations continue.
HIV/ AIDS Policy
UNISON is still challenging the council on their HIV/ AIDS policy view that home care staff should only be told of a client's status on a 'need to know' basis.
UNISON respects the need for confidentiality and the sensitive nature of this problem, but also needs to ensure all risks, including Hepatitis B and MRSA are properly assessed.
"Talks are ongoing with the branch trying to find a balance between the right to privacy and the right to protection under Health & Safety legislation", said David Hop, home care steward.
Grounds maintenance lack of consultation
UNISON has condemned the lack of consultation over the Grounds Maintenance contract specification and over reports going to council committees.
The bowling green, garden aid and forestry contracts are being put out to voluntary tender, in a move described by UNISON as "unnecessary and wasteful".
"We are keen to get involved in the procedure because we believe we can win on price and on quality in all three contracts - if that is what the council wants", said George Lee manual convener.
"But we are worried that there is a lack of consultation, to the extent that we are asking, what have they got to hide?" he added.
And UNISON is also concerned that the consultation with users and the public, required by 'Best Value' also seems slow in getting off the ground.
It has been suggested that, given previous public consultations, the council may be far from getting public support for its plans.
And it also seems that the council has just noticed that bowling greens and garden aid are seasonal contracts.
Putting these out separately means that the whole service will be fragmented, possibly hiring and firing for the summer months.
"They seem not to have worked out what will happen to the current full time permanent employees who should transfer to the new contracts", said George.
Economy thrown away
Currently the services are integrated with people working on these jobs from April to September and others for the rest of the year.
"This brings flexibility, efficiency and savings through economy of scale, but it is all being thrown away", added George.
Grounds maintenance workers are confident they can win contracts given a level playing field but they are beginning to doubt if they will be given that chance.
Discussions are already ongoing about adjustments to working practices to look for even more efficiency.
It is likely that Murrayburn Depot will close to capitalise on economies of scale.
IT demand equality
Information Technology staff are in dispute about 'loyalty payments' being offered by the council.
Some staff would get 10%, some 5% and some none at all.
All staff are solid in the belief that everyone should be treated equally.
"The very fact that any money is being offered shows how hard is is to recruit and retain these staff", said John Mulgrew, service conditions convener.
"It just demonstrates in one area how far council employed staff are falling behind the private sector when it comes to pay and conditions".
Outsourcing warning
Just to demonstrate its 'loyalty' to staff, there are now indications that the council may have had talks with Sheffield and Highland councils, both of which have outsourced all their IT functions.
The branch is now preparing to contact these local branches to set up meetings learn from their experience and assess the implications.
Regrading claim in Joint Board
Lothian Valuation admin staff are having job descriptions and grades examined following a review of technical posts.
They are currently being assessed at Management Services.
A claim is being submitted for a long overdue regrading for Valuation and Registration assistants (VARAs).
"In our view the admin side of the Joint Board lends itself to a career structure, allowing staff to progress as they take on more responsibility", said John Mulgrew, branch service conditions coordinator.
Cuban trade unionists visit Edinburgh
Edinburgh UNISON welcomed two Cuban trade unionists on a visit to the city last month in the person of Armando Plaza Olazabal and William Rodriguez Arias from the Cuban TUC's Holguin Province.
Plaza and William were welcomed to Glasgow, Dundee and Edinburgh during their stay.
They told of the terrible devastation caused by the recent hurricane and the problems caused by the U.S boycott. William, a computer enthusiast, went home with surplus equipment from the Edinburgh branch.
As part of their visit, the branch arranged a lunch, a visit to the People's Story museum and a lively and informative tour of the City Chambers by UNISON member - and Edinburgh history expert - John Wilson.
Then there was time for a couple of hours exchange of information about trade unionism here and in Cuba.
Major role for Edinburgh at Womens Conference
City of Edinburgh Branch sent six delegates to the Scottish Women's Conference in Glasgow in October, reports Eileen Penman.
I think we would have been struggling to get a full delegation without the branch's commitment to self organisation.
The Women's Self Organised Group, though small and with few meetings over the summer, has enough of a nucleus to ensure women's voice is heard at these important national events.
Members of our delegation moved motions on:
- Women's Health and the importance of Well Women clinics
- Poverty Levels experienced by women & families in Scotland
- Carer Allowances for union participation, and
- Qualifications Barriers and the gender imbalance at managerial levels in the public sector.
We had also studied the constitution of the Scottish Women's Committee and agreed it needed changing! So amendments were drawn up and proposed by Tracy Gilbert.
All our motions and amendments were passed overwhelmingly, without debate, although Anne Henderson from Glasgow City Branch did speak in support of our motion on Poverty Levels in Scotland, adding some further comments.
I think we were all surprised and concerned at the absence of motions from branches other than City of Edinburgh and Glasgow City branches.
We also experienced frustration at the tight deadlines we faced due to information being received late in the day. Tight deadlines are no good to trade union members, particularly women.
We need time to formulate well written motions, think through amendments to the constitution, and schedule our lives so that we can attend.
Tracy Gilbert deserves our thanks and appreciation for 'busting a gut' in sorting out the administration and securing our expenses were paid to us in advance of the conference.
There was concern in our delegation that two motions submitted by Glasgow City Branch were ruled out of order by the Standing Orders Committee prior to the conference.
The first one was about the Glasgow home helps' dispute which involved unofficial action and the second was about the selection procedure for the Scottish Parliament and the failure to achieve a gender balance of 50/50 and inadequate representation from ethnic groups, the low paid and unwaged sections of the community.
On reflection, I am glad I was there to represent the women in our branch. The highlight was the presence of our UNISON sisters from Northern Ireland and the contribution they made to an otherwise lacklustre conference.
They are involved in a Peace & Reconciliation project called "Women Seen and Heard", the first report of which was part of the conference papers.
Funded by the European Peace & Reconciliation Programme, the project aims to involve and train women in participating in the democratic process of peace building.Their presentation to the conference and participation in workshops was inspiring and left us in no doubt that, with determination, women's voice can influence decisions that impact on our lives.
In addition to the branch delegates, Branch secretary Morag Stevenson was on the agenda committee for the Conference.
What's the Affiliated Political Fund Doing ?
The devastation which would have hit local government and public services if the Conservatives had won the last election is hard to imagine.
Nothing would have been safe from privatisation and asset stripping.
So UNISON members have good reason to be glad that Labour won and that their union helped the victory.
We welcome many measures brought in by the Labour government, like the Scottish Parliament, the minimum wage and the extra funds for health and education.
But we also know that even with a Labour government our union needs to fight for the policies its members need.
We are not happy with the continued use of the Private Finance Initiative, the consequences of Best Value in the hands of some authorities, and the continuing tightening of local government budgets.
We are particularly concerned when leading Labour councillors start talking about the 'enabling council', which implies the wholesale externalisation of services; and when ministers are encouraging wholesale transfer of council housing from the councils.
UNISON affiliates to the Labour Party through the Affiliated Political Fund (APF) at the national and the local level.
Locally your APF Committee has been pursuing these issues vigorously through its delegations at Labour Constituency level .
Winning policies
A series of motions on Best Value, PFI, Edinburgh 2000 and Voluntary Competitive Tendering has convinced an increasing number of Labour Party members of our views.
"My impression is that we are winning the main arguments with ordinary Labour Party members in Edinburgh" says Matthew Crighton, the branch's APF Officer.
"We need now to carry this through to ensure that ministers and councillors also hear the arguments and understand the consequences of the unpopularity of these policies, while continuing to support the good things the Labour Party is doing in office".
All UNISON members who pay the APF levy are able to take part in the activities of the APF.
The Branch's APF AGM in February 1999 and will be publicised in this magazine.
However if any APF member would like personal notification please notify Matthew Crighton c/o the Branch Office.
Spirit of courses deal broken
UNISON is accusing the council of breaking the spirit of the agreement on further and higher education.
The union is clear that, if the course is required for your work, you should not have to sign any undertaking to pay back fees if you leave.
"We have no problem with courses for people's own development, but it was never intended to apply to required training", said John Mulgrew.
Social Work is one of the culprits in trying to force people to sign 'pay back' forms for essential child protection training.John warns that this deal applies to a number of other employers and stewards should check how it is being implemented.
Meanwhile, the union is challenging these interpretations.
Lesbian and gay conference grills prospective MP's
Edinburgh UNISON lesbian and gay delegates attended two important events at the end of October.
Seven delegates went to the UNISON Scottish Lesbian and Gay Conference which had workshops on the Scottish Parliament, developing self organisation at local levels and harassment and homophobia at the workplace and within UNISON.
Tracy Gilbert attended the harassment and homophobia workshop."We recognised that even colleagues that we 'liked' were sometimes, unintentionally, homophobic and we spoke about how we address that. We felt that raising awareness and equality training for all employees would be beneficial", said Tracy.
The afternoon session began with a "Question Time" session with prospective MPs for the Scottish Parliament from all the main Parties.
Representing the Labour Party was Natalie Robertson. Natalie is the Secretary and an active member of City of Edinburgh's Lesbian & Gay Self Organised Group, amongst many other things.
"Each candidate spoke about what their Political Party would do about equality and about their own visions. They were then grilled - em - questioned by us as to what they could ACTUALLY deliver", said Tracy.
The branch had two motions passed - one on APF and TUC delegates and the other on superannuation schemes and these were forwarded to the national conference in Glasgow.
Should anyone wish to join the lesbian and gay mailing list, come along to a meeting, or get involved in any other way please contact the branch office for further details.
The Equalities Network annual conference was held the day before and the branch sent three delegates.
The day-long conference began with a panel from all the main political parties.
There was great disappointment when it was announced that Henry Mcleish MP had withdrawn at the last minute because of pressing engagements at Westminster around the Scotland Bill.
"The Tory party had sent along, dare I say, a 'New Tory'. She was very personable but had no comprehension of the discrimination faced daily by Lesbians and Gay Men and their families", said Tracy.
In the afternoon there were a range of workshops including parenting and anti discrimination.
