3 Companies Project Awards


Organising, organising, organising...our new trade union mantra, especially in the outsourced private sector. The initial joint UNISON/SEIU 3 Companies project is now over. The self organising stage is next.

Good to see Bob Oram speaking (standing for re-election to NEC in North West region)

(Actually its always been about organising).

Sheffield Dinner Ladies Petition for Fairness over pay


This is another great campaign by UNISON 3 Companies initiative - battling here to get privatised school dinner ladies (apologises for any sexist assumptions) paid decent minimum terms and conditions by Chartwells.

It is completely shameful that such companies seek to maximise profits out of the misery of already poorly paid employees.

I note that Sheffield City Council is run by the Lib Dems and I wonder what local MP Nick Clegg thinks of this?  After his "Savage Cuts" grandstanding I suppose he approves of this sort of thing as a way to bring down the public sector wage bill?
