Issue - meetings

The Committee considered a report of the Director of Corporate Resources which provided an update on the progress being made in agreeing a revised corporate Trade Union Recognition and Procedural Agreement.  A copy of the report marked ‘Agenda Item 8’ is filed with these minutes.

Members supported the proposal that the recognised Trade Unions engage with the Management Side in the format of a Joint Trade Union Side for the purposes of collective bargaining, consultation and negotiation.  It was recognised that the alternative, a system of proportionate representation with voting to reach agreement, would be significantly more challenging.

RESOLVED:

That the progress made in agreeing a revised corporate Trade Union Recognition and Procedural Agreement be noted.
