Dear all
We would like to reassure you all, that UNISON will be here
for you during these difficult times ahead. The office will still be open but
at reduced times and days, if you do need us the best option is to call or
email first to save you a wasted trip, but your first point of contact should
always be your local steward. Their contact details can be found at www.oxfordcityunison.com if for some reason they are not available then please contact one of us listed
below.
There are going to be many challenges ahead of us all and
you may be asked to do things differently from your normal daily tasks. We know
that you all will rise to the challenge’s that will come. If you are asked to
support another roll or support another area and are or unhappy or concerned
about it then please talk to your manager in the first instance, if you still have concerns please contact us and we will do our best to help.
Oxford City Council staff are well known for great public
service in times of need never has there been a time when we all need to
pull together and support each other.
Lastly, We just want to say stay safe all of you.

2021 PAY DEAL CONSULTATION
NOTICE TO MEMBERS
2021 PAY DEAL CONSULTATION
Our current pay deal
expires at the end of March 2021, therefore this year UNISON and Unite officers
will be starting to negotiate a new pay deal for Oxford City Council and Oxford
Direct Services colleagues to be effective from April 2021.
We, therefore, need to have
input from all Trade Union members, via this survey, to guide us in the
negotiations. Please complete the survey online using via this LINK or using a paper
copy available from your steward which can then be returned to your workplace
reps/steward or via the ballot boxes or to the UNISON office in the Town Hall
or the Unite office at Horspath
We kindly ask all Oxford City Council and Oxford Direct Services trade Union, members to take part in this survey as the results will help your Unions to shape
the deal going forward.
Colleagues who are not a member of either of the
Unions, Unite and UNISON cannot take part in this consultation, however joining
either of the unions will enable those colleagues to have their say.
Just as a reminder the final year of the existing pay deal will see an increase in salary as from
April this year 2020

Covid-19 - guidance for UNISON members
UNISON has been working with the relevant government departments to help ensure public services and public service workers are prepared and equipped to deal with Covid-19, commonly referred to as coronavirus.
Guidance for hospitals and NHS staff was published this week by NHS employers, UNISON, and other health unions. The aim of this is to ensure staff know exactly what to do with individuals who are concerned they have the virus and how to treat patients, with minimal risk to themselves. The guidance also seeks to reassure both health employees and the public, alerting everyone to be vigilant to prevent the wider spread of the virus.
Advice has also been issued by the Department for Education for schools and school workers. UNISON has issued additional advice for branches and activists should you become aware of any schools closed following suspected instances of Covid-19.
These sensible contingency plans will help reassure staff and the public that public services are fully prepared for any eventuality. Encouraging individuals to take everyday precautions is essential. But so is the need not to panic or feel unduly alarmed. Being fully prepared now could make the world of difference later.
Advice for anyone concerned they have developed symptoms of Covid-19 can be found on the NHS website.

How to deal with Coronavirus or COVID–19
Everyone's talking about how to deal with Coronavirus or COVID–19. One suggestion is to stay away from work if you're feeling unwell. But many people don't get sick pay for the first three days, so could you do that if you had to? Check out our advice on Coronavirus or COVID–19 and sick pay
