TUPE protection
I as many members am worried that when we go private our terms and conditions may change for the worse!
The thought of being on min pay or losing our jobs, overtime is uppermost in lots of members minds.
I did a bit of research and it appears that TUPE, protects our pay and conditions "unless there is an 'economic, technical or organisational' reason" (ETO). It also says there is no time limit on Tupe.
Am I correct? Does Tupe give us some protection against the change.

Re: TUPE protection
TUPE covers you if one company takes over another , I'm sure if they wanted to we could all be made redundant and then taken back on new contracts.

Re: TUPE protection
Not from my reading of Tupe, "unless there is an 'economic, technical or organisational' reason" (ETO). Well let's hope it's right! I am desperate to get to the finishing line, before they finish us off!noggin1969 wrote:TUPE covers you if one company takes over another , I'm sure if they wanted to we could all be made redundant and then taken back on new contracts.

Re: TUPE protection
TUPE gives you about as much protection as an umbrella would if a piano fell on your head.
Depending on how we're sold it might not even apply.
Forget TUPE,the only thing that will protect your terms and conditions is you and the people beside you(not now obviously,at work,the only one beside me now is my dog).
Educate,organise and mobilise.

Yes forget TUPE it's irrelevant - what kind of dog have you got, that's important.fishtank wrote:TUPE gives you about as much protection as an umbrella would if a piano fell on your head.

I got him because I was told as a rule they are one of the most intelligent breeds.
He is the exception to the rule but he is loyal.

Re: TUPE protection
What a beauty, looks really majestic. I like dogs in general and love my border collie - although he's not that sociable and really though I kick his basketball for him and throw his Frisbee take him for walks and dry him off when he's been swimming it's the wife he dotes onfishtank wrote:dvbuk55 wrote:Yes forget TUPE it's irrelevant - what kind of dog have you got, that's important.

Perhaps its a comment on pensions and life - both go to the dogs eventually.stephen500 wrote:There is me watching my life's work, pension, terms and conditions going down the tube and what are we reduced to? Pictures of dogs!

Life's a bitch......?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
