Dear member,

We have had it confirmed that the review of terms and conditions will be suspended at the very least until later in the year.

We made the point that any changes would be very unwelcome and could possibly dent morale at a time when they will heavily rely on your good will.

We have asked what will happen with those of you who have children at schools and nurseries if they are to close. There is a management meeting today where this is to be discussed and we will let you know as soon as we do. It is inconceivable that if you have no one else to look after children that you are disadvantaged. It may well be that many of you will be regarded as key workers but these decisions are still being taken.

As your union, we want to thank you for everything you are doing, and please continue to get in touch if you have any questions or queries.
