Guillotine Section

This part of the agenda is to hear motions that there was not enough time to hear earlier in the conference.

The motions are heard very quickly so I am doing this after conference has finished.

All motions were carried except two which were remitted. This means that the GEC will take on the spirit of the motion but there is a problem with the wording or a clause in the motion that would mean that if it were put to a vote it would be lost.

Motion A151 calls for the special leave guidance to include witnesses and plaintiffs required to attend court

Motion A153 calls for casual staff to be made permanent. This was remitted as PCS should only argue this if they were recruited in a fair and open exercise.

Motion A154 calls for better awareness of reasonable adjustments and for better policies about the new fit notes.

Motion A157 calls for paid time off for Right Core Care appointments during normal working hours.

Motion A159 calls for an end to revised service hours where that causes divisions in the workforce.

Motion A60 calls for facility time for Branch Equality Officers.

Motion A232 calls for a review of the way overpayments of salary are recovered from RM. This motion was remitted as it calls for arrangements to be made through the line manager which could be worse for some members than the current system.

Motion A240 calls for an independant audit of Lean in PDCS as we don't believe it delivers savings.

Motion A242 calls for all calls from the public to be made free of charge.

Motion A22 calls for job design and working coditions to be improved in Contact Centres as these cause high levels of sick absence and turnover.

Motion A61 calls for the GEC to scrap the agreement to record facility time on RM and come up with a better system.
