Strike action by CityClean GMB in Brighton members has been suspended for 28 days from Monday to allow a ballot of members on a Council offer to take place. The offer is preliminary until the formal consultation period is completed. The offer will be discussed with Unison tomorrow and other areas will need to be negotiated with both unions.
I understand that the work-to-rule is also suspended and there will be an extensive clean up and catch-up work programmed in now for the next fortnight.

Thanks to @gmbcityclean for returning to work while ballot members on council offer - importance of their work appreciated more than ever
What a mess - are you calling for Green Council Leader Jason Kitcat to resign?
ReplyDeleteYes I am one of many Green Party members who have signed an open letter calling for his resignation. The mishandling of the issue has done much damage to the Green Party and the whole trajectory of the Council's strategy requires debate.
