Unions representing Ofcom staff call for talks
Unions with members joining the new communications regulator have demanded full negotiations regarding the status and conditions of its staff.
In a letter to e-commerce and competitiveness Minister Stephen Timms, Bectu and other unions with members due to transfer to Ofcom have condemned the secrecy surrounding a consultants' report on proposed salaries and pensions.
Human Resources consultants Towers Perrin have been accused of finalising the report without holding open discussions with the unions whose members will be transferred from existing public bodies into super-regulator Ofcom when it begins operations. Unions have not even been told where Ofcom's office will be situated.
Prior to receiving the letter Stephen Timms had agreed to meet union representatives in mid-November, giving officials an opportunity to hammer home their anger at being kept in the dark by Towers Perrin.
