Hull council’s aggressive bid to remove union convenors

Hull’s Labour council in aggressive bid to remove all union convenors

Mike Whale, Chair, Hull City Council trade unions

Hull City Council, run by Labour, is pre-empting the Tories’ trade union bill by issuing a redundancy notice known as a ‘188 notice’ which threatens the council’s five full time union convenors. The proposal to halve the convenors’ time is a determined attempt to behead the workforce as the council prepares to implement the Tories’ brutal cuts.
