Refuse workers may have lost £20k due to bad management
REFUSE workers in Newham may have lost more than £20,000 each in pay over the past decade due to bad management, a trade union claimed today.
Unite said that bosses at Newham Council have failed to live up to an agreement signed between the union and senior management in 2007.
The agreement was intended to ease the progression of refuse employees on the national pay scales, and to ensure smoothness in pay increases.
