Hello everyone,
Have come back looking for some inspirational talk from you lovely people.
Last Friday those dreaded papers arrived - confirmation of the end of our careers. It's amazing how quickly those wheels in local authority can turn when they want isn't it?
On the MP front I'd just like to say: " He has shown a level of interest and respect for our careers that I would have expected from my union!"
I'm feeling a bit baffled as to why I am paying a subscription to a union at all. I found out through the consultation documents that they were involved in this "process" in January. We NN's received the first information on 23rd March and that was just to tell us we would be getting documents and they would hold a meeting for us on 6th May. Some of us didn't even get these til after the meeting. I spoke to another NN who first read about it in the paper. I wonder how the people doing this to us would feel if it was their career, their pay, their mortgage/rent hanging in the balance. Hmmm will we become eligible for free school dinner do you think. Thank goodness for Jamie Oliver is all I can say.....
Perhaps even more shockingly none of the unions put forward any submissions or objections despite us all voicing our opposition at the meeting. How can the unions claim to be representing us???? What exactly are we funding?
