LEICESTER CITY COUNCIL SINGLE STATUS/JOB EVALUATION UPDATE
As members will know the GMB were hoping to be able to ballot all Leicester City Council members during August on the single status proposal. Unfortunately because we still have many members whose jobs have not been through an evaluation panel yet and/or have not been verified we have been unable to do so.
I am sure that members will understand that until we can be sure that every single GMB member is clear on what the proposals mean to them we cannot ask you to vote.
We were assured back in April that all jobs would have been evaluated by June and it therefore seemed sensible to aim for August as a time to ballot (even with allowances for delays).
I have today written to your employer in a bid to get some clarity on their current position and as soon as I receive a response to this and can better understand when we might be in a position to ballot I will of course let you know.
