Job Evaluation - South Lanarkshire
The council and the unions in South Lanarkshire are still unable to speak with one voice about the implementation of the local Job Evaluation scheme.
The council says it has an AGREEMENT with the trade unions on Single Status - and that the unions have endorsed their rather unusual job evaluation scheme.
The unions on the other hand say there is NO AGREEMENT with the employer on Single Status - and that they have not endorsed the council's DIY job evaluation scheme.
On an issue of such importance to the workforce - and union members - you'd think that such a disagreement was impossible - but our clients in South Lanarkshire confirm that the two sides are at each other's throats.
1 If there's not an agreement - as the unions say - then why have the unions failed to challenge any aspect of South Lanarkshire's job evaluation scheme?

2 Why have the unions accepted practices in South Lanarkshire that are so different from every other council in Scotland?
3 Why is the scheme surrounded by so much secrecy and why are the scores of all the different jobs not published - as they are everywhere else?
