Flexible Working

Back to all Motions

Conference
2008 Police Staff Service Group Conference
Date
12 June 2008
Decision
Carried

Conference is appalled that police forces are using the notion of flexible working to pursue an agenda of rationalisation which in reality is a cost cutting exercise and one based on more ‘for less’.

UNISON condemns this practice that requires our members to work longer hours for no increase in salary, a pay cut by other means. Such savage cuts will not deliver or improve public services. It will only deliver a demoralised workforce.

Conference instructs the Service Group Executive to support our members by influencing the Employers Association, Association of Police Officers (ACPO), Association of Police Authorities (APA) and the Home Office to desist from this appalling abuse of power.
