2000 charity staff face axe.Byline: John McInnes AROUND 2000 charity workers could be sacked over changes to pay and conditions. Trade union Unison yesterday said all staff at Quarriers, who provide services for vulnerable children, were threatened with redundancy unless they agree to management proposals. The union claim Quarriers want to cut staff nightshift and public holiday payments. It was also claimed sick pay could be cut by 25 per cent for staff with fewer than five years' service. Unison branch secretary Stephen Brown Stephen Brown may refer to:
"I'm disappointed that Quarriers have decided to fall back on gunboat diplomacy gunboat diplomacy n. Diplomacy involving intimidation by threat or use of military force: "in the days when gunboat diplomacy was a more accepted tool of world powers" by threatening our members with the sack." Quarriers chief executive Phil Robinson Philip "Phil" Robinson (born January 6 1967 in Stafford, England) is an English footballer. He is currently player-manager of Stafford Rangers. References
Stafford Rangers F.C. said: "Quarriers entered into a formal process of 90-day consultation with staff. "Only as a last resort would consideration be given to the potential of all contracts being terminated and new contracts issued." |
