Nhs reform

AFG-alternative futures,creative support,thera,other apparently not for profit organisations want to cut wages,also the terms and conditions of these hard working people....beware!!!

NHS REFORM-- HURTING PEOPLES LIVELYHOODS



all these companies were involved in a bidding war ?, no not really because a multitude of them now provide these services in place of the NHS.therefore if the service was commisioned out to the providers who displayed "best value" etc... then why did they all get an equal chunk of the service ? NO!! this is and still is a divide and conquer exercise on which in the last 4 plus years the unions have gone along with whatever proposals these companies want to happen,quoting to staff that its been agreed by unions,saying if you dont do this or that etc then its disiplinary action for you...you must sign this form to take on roles that are for managers or charge nurses etc such as demanding that staff members sign the shift coordinator role.....DONT do it!!!
sign nothing and remember if you are TUPE staff your conditions/pay scales/terms etc should not change if they do which is happening here then get your colleages together and raise a grievance! i for one do not trust the unions or the companies in which we work etc because we/i have never been consulted about anything,ever!TAKE A LOOK AT THIS,

TUPE=for the length of employment.

Contractual terms in the main, apply to pay and conditions, including any provisions negotiated at national and local level. Though not defined in TUPE, these could include:
■pay scales and rates and pay intervals
■hours of work
■place of employment
■continuous service
■annual leave entitlements
■sick leave and sick pay schemes
■maternity provisions
■pension arrangements
■part-time or flexible working
■other time-off arrangements
■disciplinary, grievance and other procedure.

please note the description as regards provisions negotiated at local/national level,!! beware of this, it means the flaw in tupe is that if you,your union agree then it can apply-especially if you just go along with this-
PLEASE REMEMBER DO NOT SIGN OR AGREE TO ANY CHANGES IN YOUR ORIGINAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS!!

  2. i did contemplate not answering this ,just to show how easy it is for gutless people and companies to just avoid issues by not being available!!
    however we are still here and want answers,i believe and this is just my point of view ok.
    I believe that the coalition was put into government to make all the changes to the public sector and remember this is happening everywhere not just the NHS,chipping away at all the public services ,police,councils,nhs, everything...nobody even voted for a coalition it was forced upon us,just by saying yes we are going to do this join together and create a coalition pmsl...
    its like the risk register for example they was told they had to publish it yet trying and succeeding in not doing! even though the importance of it is phenominal,and is seen that the risks far outweigh the benefits which there is no benefit at all in the bill itself...all the country its people and professionals,doctors,nurses and frontline staff are being blatently ignored! its a disgrace and someone should be accountable.which in the end there will be a scapegoat and it will be to late anyway.
