HEAVY WORKLOADS, DISCIPLINARIES, AND TALKS

One of our famous stress surveys at Harper Collins has thrown up worrying results, including long hours, heavy workloads, ridiculous deadlines and reduced budgets impacting on members' health. A meeting has been asked for later this month.

The Scottish Organiser is meeting the Minister for Culture later this month to discuss a range of issues including broadcast matters. The meeting is part of the Scottish committee of the FEU initiative through the STUC to engage with senior politicians in the new government.

Organisers have been involved in a spate of interesting disciplinaries, a number of them for gross misconduct, with 100% success in saving members' jobs. A number of grievances have also been successful in some difficult circumstances, for example in places where we are still organising and recruiting such as Talk 107 radio station in Edinburgh.
