DCC are sending out letters to some groups of employees who have NOT voluntarily signed the new terms and conditions despite being offered an increase in pay as a result of the Job Evaluation Exercise and/or the introduction of the council’s minimum earnings level.
We consider this to be a patronising approach and UNISON’s advice remains to NOT voluntarily sign. We are still awaiting a detailed response to the questions raised during the consultation period and a further update on our current position will be issued in the coming days.
