NEW TECHNOLOGY, NEW STRESS

Scottish Television chapel has asked for recognition of the new web desk after recruiting most of these young people who are on fixed term contracts. We have since negotiated new staff contracts and agreement is expected soon.

Regular meetings are taking place in BBC Scotland following the move to Pacific Quay and the introduction of a new editorial system. An extensive H&S risk assessment has been introduced allowing us to monitor workloads and stress levels. There are many glitches with the new equipment and management are asking the union to help identify the scale of the problems. They had taken on 30 new members of staff on fixed term contracts to cover the extensive training programme attached to the new system. Some of these are having their contracts extended already.
