BRANCH SECRETARY’S REPORT Colleagues will now have seen the statement released by Shropshire Council regarding their intention to instigate a voluntary redundancy programme. Our understanding of these proposals is that The Council are looking to lose up to 50% of the workforce - across all areas - in the next 4 years with the intention of making as many of these losses happen as quickly as possible. The rationale for this course of action is that they have to save £80 Million pounds in the next four years. Shropshire UNISON is clearly opposed to any job losses and the subsequent effect that this will inevitably have upon the services we all deliver every day to the people of Shropshire. If these proposals are carried out in full there can be no doubt that some services will suffer devastating consequences and some will disappear for ever. Our move towards becoming a commissioning council is going to change the landscape of local government in Shropshire forever. Whilst this most recent plan of attack will undoubtedly cause upset, misery and desperately difficult times for individual families, there is a much greater problem to consider. What does this mean for Shropshire? In particular, what does it mean to the population of our county, many of whom rely so heavily on its local authority to provide much-needed and vital access to both personal and community services. Shropshire Council’s announcement makes great play that they shall be able to provide the same level of service delivery with half the people to do so. How? Where is the evidence ? What if , and it is a distinct possibility, they have got it wrong? What then? What does Shropshire Council and the services it provides to the population of our county look like if it all fails miserably? So many questions remain unanswered as to make these proposals a very uncomfortable fit. Clearly we are living in extremely difficult financial times with Central Government deliberately targeting public services as a cornerstone of their ambition to dismantle a state system that they hate so much. We, as a union, both locally and nationally must do all we can to oppose such actions and seek at all times to preserve and protect as much of our services as we possibly can. With this in mind Branch Officers will be working hard with the council decision makers in the coming months to mitigate these proposals in every way we can. We will ensure that any
member needing our full support and guidance will receive it. There will of course be members who will find the proposals attractive and who decide that they would wish to take up an offer of redundancy, if so then they must make sure that they receive the best possible advice before making any final decisions and they should contact the branch at the earliest opportunity. Please contact the branch at any time should you require advice and information on the matter. It is my intention to instruct our work place stewards to hold members meetings in the coming weeks and we shall also consider holding mass member meetings around the county should the need arise and when we have all the details and facts of the proposals to hand. Difficult times lie ahead, we must remain united, stick together and show the very solidarity that the trades union movement was built upon. We must all of us seek to recruit colleagues to the union to build our membership, which in turn increases our voice and strengthens our ability to influence the decision making of our employers. In other news. The first members of staff have been transferred into IP&E when the media team, consisting of 12 people transferred on 1st August. It remains to be seen whether or not this is a well considered business solution or a move as result of political pressure to get someone/anyone – into IP &E as soon as possible to try and counter the growing concerns and worries many people were expressing as to whether or not the whole scheme would actually happen at all. With an interim head of the company and no signs of other staff groups being transferred it is certainly very interesting times for a company that Shropshire Council are placing an awful lot of hope and expectations in. The TUC are organising a march and rally against the governments cuts to The NHS and local government in Manchester on 29th September which coincides with first day of The Tory Party conference in that city. UNISON
nationally will have a massive presence there and Shropshire General Branch have begun organising travel for members and their families who wish to show their support and attend. This promises to be a huge affair –on a par with the last London demonstration- so if you want to attend please contact the branch as the places for 2

ASST BRANCH SECRETARY’S REPORT IP&E A paper has surfaced on the Council’s website under the documents discussed in a closed meeting of Cabinet on the 26th July 2013 see attachment 12 on the following link: in an interesting development it is proposed: 6.3 ………that a parallel trading company [Trade Co] be set up, with the same legal company structure as IP&E – with the Council as its sole shareholder. Its Articles of Association will provide for the Council to have rights of appointment to the Board, again mirroring arrangements for IP&E. It will have separate management arrangements and Board, albeit with the same Managing Director and separate funding arrangements with the Council.
Recent events with IP&E may well explain why we have still not been invited to sit on the board as promised many months ago. Living Wage Campaign Update
On the 13th March 2013 the branch passed the following motion:
We call upon this branch to actively support the Living Wage campaign and to establish a Living Wage group to develop a campaign strategy.
To support this campaign an e-petition has already been posted in the Shropshire Council Petition Scheme: Please take the time to have a look at the petition and show your support by signing it. We need a thousand signatures to trigger a debate in a full Council meeting, help us to help you or others stuck in poverty pay. Electronic and written signatures at Midday 15th July 2013 = 316 (Target 1,000) What else can you be doing? Please sign the petition! 3

INTERNATIONAL OFFICER July 2013 Trade unionists are increasingly coming under attack around the globe. In the UK we've seen attacks on facility time, discrimination against union reps and the appalling revelations around 'black lists' of known trade union activists. In other countries, the victimisation of trade unionists has included murder, disappearances, banning of unions and the introduction of anti-union laws. What we all have in common is our desire to protect the rights of workers, therefore, it is essential, despite the current economic climate that threatens all our livelihoods, that we stand together in solidarity.
International policy passed at NDC Motions were passed on Bangladesh, LGBT rights, Nicaragua, Colombia and Palestine at this year's annual conference. Branches have been asked to consider affiliating to Nicaragua Solidarity Campaign and raising awareness of the safety failures that caused the horrendous loss of life of Bangladeshi garment workers. Check out IndustriALL (global union) and War on Want for updates on the issue. We have been asked to consider affiliating to War on Want for ÂŁ25 per year. In line with the motion, Dave Prentis is sending a solidarity letter to the Bangladesh National Garment Workers' Federation telling them that we support their struggle to work in a safe environment free from intimidation, and to receive a decent wage. The Colombia motion calls on branches to affiliate to Justice for Colombia.
Swaziland
TUCOSWA is the new trade union federation in the small absolute monarchy, Swaziland. The organisation has 50,000 members. The Swazi government has chosen not to recognise TUCOSWA, effectively making it illegal, in violation of the rules of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) that Swaziland has ratified. This means that the trade union movement in Swaziland, and therefore the workers in Swaziland, no longer have a voice and no longer have the means to demand their rights Sign the petition calling for the union to be unbanned.
Banana workers in Peru UNISON West Midlands have helped SITAG in Peru produce a 4-minute video on why banana workers need the support of trade unions to build their unions and campaigning for the repeal of anti-union laws. Here's the link
Murder of trade union leader in Philippines
Antonio Petalcorin, the leader of the Network of Transport Organizations (NETO-APL-ITUC), was shot dead on 2 July 2013 in front of his home. He was part of group of transport leaders who exposed the corrupt practices of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) and launched a campaign to oust the director in October 2012.

You can ‘like’ Shrewsbury Action Against Racism on Facebook to find out about future events
Shrewsbury town centre was alive a with the sounds of South America, South Africa and the Caribbean on July 6th as Shrewsbury Action Against Racism (SAAR) held their 8th Cultural Diversity Day in the Square. Unison, alongside organisations like the Rainbow Film Festival, Shrewsbury Senior Citizen Forum and Shropshire Fire and Rescue, lined the Square with gazebos creating the perfect blend of information and entertainment for visitor to the town. Music on the day was provided by ‘the Street Band’ and Jewish Klezmer band the ‘Klezmonoughts’, with dance performances from belly dancers ‘Bedouin Shiver’ and Chinese dance by ‘Culture Kind’. Chair of SAAR and Equality Officer for Unison, Steve Cunningham said “These events are really important as they promote cultural diversity and community cohesion, which following recent events regarding the Prayer Centre in Shrewsbury, it’s really positive to see people coming together.”

MEMBERSHIP STORIES Two Shropshire Council employees gave it their all when they took part in the Shrewsbury Half I Marathon on 23 June 2013 and raised a magnificent £360 for the Birmingham Children’s Hospital. I am sure you would all like to join us in congratulating the pair for their valiant effort and for raising such a large sum of money for a worthy cause. Do you have a story you would like to share with other UNISON members. If you do and if you have pictures to support it why not email us at unison@shropshire.gov.uk with the heading “News Story” and we will make every effort to publicise it in our next edition of the “S.U.N.”

PRIVATE MEMBERS UPDATE Ashley House—UNISON Recognition Ashley House is a low secure hospital providing services for adults with learning disabilities who are detained under the Mental Health Act 1983. Having formerly been part of the Care Principles group which was acquired by Four Seasons Healthcare after a long take over. The news of the takeover was generally well received as before this, former owners had been venture capitalists, whereas Four Seasons are a company whose business is care. Having worked here for a number of years and there being no collective agreements and on occasion active opposition to trade unionism it came as a great surprise when the company announced its intention to enter into a voluntary joint recognition agreement with Unison, GMB and RCN. It felt as though we had
finally been invited to the party. Quite a few staff here were already members of Unison and as I had already met Branch Secretary Alan James before, at the TUC March for a Future That Works, I contacted him as soon as I heard the news. The potential for recruitment at national level was huge given that Four Seasons employs over thirty thousand people nationwide. We arranged a visit from Alan and Nadeem Samari the Local Organiser, and began the process of working out how to proceed. My colleague Mark Turner and myself had previously been elected as TUPE reps during the takeover and had had some dealings with senior management, as we were both Unison members and had previously been attempting to organise it seemed an obvious move to put ourselves forward as Workplace Stewards.

Continuation from page 6.. A number of people came forward, expressing an interest and so five of us; Jason Mellinship, Nathan Roper, Mhairi Hill, Mark and myself, submitted our reasons for wishing to become Stewards and members took part in a postal ballot. The result of the ballot was that Mark Turner, Mhairi and I were elected. Those who were not successful continue to be actively supportive and maintain a steady interest in our activities. The business is, while in the private sector, providing services paid for by the NHS and changes made to funding by the government have had some impact on referrals. Issues within the sector such as the Winterbourne View scandal and the crisis at Mid-Staffs Hospital have created their own set of challenges, with regulatory bodies scrambling to regain some semblance of credibility we have felt the backlash of numerous inspections, and intense scrutiny. We are lucky to work with some amazing people, with staff coming from all corners of the globe. Ours is a truly multi-cultural environment with opportunities to learn about diverse cultures I believe that this enriches us as individuals. We have recruited more members and helped to publicise local, national and international campaigns and intend to support the rally in September at the Conservative Party Conference, travelling with colleagues from Branch. Working for a company that welcomes trade union involvement especially in these troubled times, is something of a relief as we believe that honest dialogue between all parties in the resolution of difficulties is the best way forward. Members and non-members are continually surprised at the range of benefits on offer from Unison and using the publicity that has been made available to us has helped us to recruit. Steve Tunstall Unison Workplace Steward.

LABOUR LINK OFFICER A meeting was held for the Labour link Levy payers at 7pm on the 11th June at which the group nominated Sue Laws for the NEC. Sue was subsequently successful in her nomination. I have also attended a Labour Party BBQ fundraiser event on behalf of the branch on Saturday 22nd June. I attended the Shrewsbury CLP meeting in the Morris Hall on 26th June 2013, the proposed timeline for the selection process for the next prospective Parliamentary Labour Candidate to fight the May 2015 General Election was discussed and the successful candidate should be known in the Autumn. On Friday 4th and Saturday 5th July I attended the UNISON Labour Link Conference in Manchester. This coincided with the 65th anniversary of the creation of the NHS where speeches were given in the Manchester Town Hall. Unfortunately it also coincided with news from Falkirk about the selection process for the prospective candidate to replace MP Eric Joyce, which has embroiled the local Unite branch. David Prentis has recently blogged: “UNISON has always given its members the choice of opting in to its affiliated political fund, that gives them a say in the democratic processes of the Labour Party, or of opting in to the General Political Fund, independent of any political party. Our processes are democratic and transparent. UNISON has never operated the arrangement whereby we pay Labour Party membership fees for new members. Trade unions are a vital and intrinsic part of the Labour Party and, together, we have helped ordinary working men and women have a say in the democratic processes of this country and a say in Labour Party policy. However, UNISON believes that the current debate about the relationship between Labour and the unions, played out so publicly in the media, is an unforgiveable diversion from the real issues that this country faces. There are 2.5 million people out of work, young people without a future, families having to rely on food banks and payday loan sharks to make ends meet, and massive cuts to our public services. And our members have seen the value of their pay cut by up to 16% as a result of years of pay freezes.
Those are the issues that matter to people. UNISON will continue to fight to protect and defend its members from attack and to help the most vulnerable in our society. We expect the Labour Party to do the same”.

UNISON NEWS………
UNISON to continue fight over Employment Tribunal Fees UNISON, the UK’s largest union, today pledged to continue its challenge to the introduction of fees for claims in Employment Tribunals and Employment Appeal Tribunals, despite the latest setback. The union’s application for a Judicial Review was refused on paper (without a hearing) late yesterday (23 July), but the union is renewing the application and seeking an oral hearing. UNISON is also applying for a stay on the introduction of the new fees pending a decision on our claim. The fees are due to come in on 29 July 2013. Dave Prentis, General Secretary of UNISON said:
“This early decision is disappointing but UNISON is committed to continuing our challenge for a Judicial Review. The Government’s plans to ration access to justice by introducing fees into Employment Tribunals and Employment Appeal Tribunals are unjust and discriminatory. “We believe that that the Government should not put a price on justice and stop working people from exercising their employment rights. We are renewing our application and seeking an oral hearing when we will also be applying for a stay on the introduction of the new fees regime.”
Massive changes to employment tribunals made by the government mean that access to workplace justice could be denied to millions and now comes with a hefty price tag. The changes are designed to stop working people seeking compensation from employers. This awful Tory-led government is introducing fees for Employment Tribunals on Monday 29 July 2013. Also the qualifying period to claim unfair dismissal has been doubled to two years – in one stroke depriving millions of workers of any legal protection in the workplace. Prohibitive tribunal fees are to be introduced, with a fee of up to £250 just to register a case, and up to £950 more payable before it gets to a hearing. Appeals will cost up to £1,600. Witnesses’ expenses will no longer be paid. UNISON is totally opposed to these fees and we shall continue to campaign against them and work for their complete abolition. UNISON nationally are running a legal case to try to stop them coming into effect at all by seeking a judicial review of the law changes. However, because of these unfair changes to ETs, the union has had to amend procedures. A new protocol and CASE form is now in place for us to use should any Shropshire member be forced down the Employment Tribunal route in order to achieve satisfaction against their employer. -/continued on page 12 9

Local Organiser’s Report
We thought we would put in a new picture of Nadeem as he has had a shave and looks like a different person.
Shropshire UNISON is continuously moving from strength to strength in the education sector. More and more support staff from schools and colleges throughout the county have been joining us, and more members are getting involved, becoming workplace contacts and stewards. It has undoubtedly been a hard term for many of our members who have been facing re-structures at their schools and colleges. Stewards and officers have been holding members meetings in these workplaces, providing advice, reassurance and support. We always make sure that employers are following the correct and legal procedures and take appropriate action if we feel they are not. Different headteachers have given different reasons for restructures, but there is one common theme – very little funding on the horizon and budgets being squeezed ever tighter. While the government reduces the funding for local education budgets, they are pushing the ‘Academy’ agenda further, hiring salesmen to tour the country and persuade headteachers to seek academy status in order that they can pay themselves higher salaries. The latest school in Shropshire facing an academy ‘consultation’ is Severndale Specialist School, we expect other schools that have not already converted, to come under pressure to convert in the near future also. Academy conversation can have many disastrous effects for support staff, union organisation and ultimately the children who deserve a fair and decent education. If you would like more information about academies (or any other education sector issue) please get in touch with the branch or myself. On another optimistic note - our wise and noble Minister for Education, Mr Michael Gove, has been in the papers talking about getting rid of ALL Teaching Assistants! It goes without saying that this man does not live in the real world. This is an unquestionably stupid, ill-informed and out of touch stance to take on a matter of such great importance – that of the livelihoods of our thousands of members who work as TA’s and the children who will suffer if this man gets his way. The position of Shropshire UNISON is clear: Teaching Assistants, along with all members of support staff, play an absolutely vital role in providing a decent education for our children. The Minister for Education should be considering better pay and recognition for such essential, important and skilled work rather than these medieval ideas. While we face attacks right from the highest levels of government, it is important to bear in mind that we still manage to make achievements in creating better, fairer and safer workplaces. Every month we help individual members all over the county. Defending you against an allegation, appealing against a disciplinary decision, resolving a workplace safety issue or negotiating more flexible working times – Your union is always there for you. We are always stronger when we work together, so if your colleagues have not joined already; pass on this message to them as there is no better time to join than now!!! For more information on any of these issues or any school and college issues that are important to you, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

The SUN Volume 3 Issue 7
This is a cynical hammer blow designed to make it as difficult as possible to lodge a tribunal claim, and a massive attack on people mistreated at work. The door has been opened to judges sitting alone in tribunals, no longer balanced with lay ‘wing’ members. The government wants to banish trade-union panellists and others with industrial experience from sitting with judges, many of whom have no employment experience. Even under the old rules only 8% of unfair dismissal cases were successful, discrimination cases even less successful. You can only begin to imagine how difficult the new legislation will make things for the working man.
What are we doing about it ? UNISON members taking union-supported employment tribunal cases will NOT have to pay the new fee of up to £1,200 that the government is introducing from summer 2013. "If a UNISON member needs to go to tribunal in a union-supported case, they will not pay a penny to get the justice they deserve "That’s a real source of security for our members and another great reason why anyone working in public services needs to join UNISON." Dave Prentice, UNISON General Secretary. The UNISON scheme, agreed by the national executive council, means that: members will not pay the fees; an application for fee remission will be submitted with the claim; the union will then advance the fee to members through a loan; the union’s solicitors will be instructed to ensure that fees are recovered in all cases which settle or are successful at tribunal. Please contact the branch for any advice on matters relating to employment tribunals and we shall be happy to help you out with all the relevant information. Alan James, Branch Secretary Membership of UNISON gives you essential cover, wherever you work. Every member receives our full range of member benefits which includes:
advice, support and help when you need it at work a helpline that is open until midnight during the week and 4pm on Saturdays legal help for you at work and your and your family at home financial assistance and debt advice in times of need compensation for accidents and injuries at work a range of exclusive member discounts that can save you and your family money when you are shopping, buying insurance or lOoking for a holiday education and training advice and courses, leading to vocational and professional qualifications.
