An amusing Ask the Boss question about TU facility. A cynic might assume that it was planted by a management side miffed off that we are being so effective. Other cynics might wonder why the question was inaccurate and those inaccuracies have not been answered. Further cynics may deem that to not approach the TU about this before answering it was anti-Union in itself.I will not pander to anti-Union propaganda for too long, however…
The number of reps is misquoted, indeed the facility time used is little over 2 staff years.
The grades of reps is irrelevant and perhaps, if it is an issue, we should have parity with Management Side - promotion please.
The question ignores reps on part time hours.
There is more work going through this office than ever before.
We have less reps than there are business partners and yet have to deal with a wider range of issues to the same level of depth.
We represent, as agreed, all staff (not just members) for all consultative issues.
