Conference Monday Morning

A busy first morning of DWP issues. 

Our own Noel Corry has been appointed as a teller. 

We have opposed sanctions & supported members who use their discretion, opposed the third party deductions of up to 40% of UC as it's too high & opposed discrimination in the appraisal system against older workers. 

We voted to ask for the appraisal system to be scrapped, supported consistent conditions of service across all of DWP, agreed guidelines to transfer HMRC staff to DWP and encouraging members to complete the survey with safeguards as it is useful to PCS. 

We called for compliance with deadlines for HR decision making and introducing a QAF for HR decision making.

We called for awareness of bad attendance management (AM) practices and to publicise ET wins, guidance on when to refer AM decisions.

We also agreed to campaign against privatising Access To Work.

We had an inspiring speech from Mark Serwotka & we're now on lunch. 

 

Our reps take our conference responsibilities very seriously.
