Wirral Council timeline for changing staff contracts

Nov 14 2012 by Liam Murphy, Birkenhead News

THE Wirral council timeline contains 77 action points on two pages of A3 paper.

It includes a Sunday briefing by the chief executive to the Labour group advising on the outcome of the public consultation where people were asked which council services they prioritise.

The “draft timeline” even includes an option to call a special cabinet meeting in January, dates for producing “at risk” letters for staff and when redundancy notices can be sent out.

It follows a rowdy meeting of Wirral Council’s ruling cabinet, attended by hundreds of council staff where they jeered and heckled councillors as they agreed to give the chief executive Graham Burgess the powers to begin negotiations with unions and staff over the changes to their contracts.
