Union reps

The request was partially successful.

Dear Blackburn College,

Can you tell me.

1. How many trade union reps are there working at the college?
2. How much time do reps get for their union duties?
3. How many full time union reps are there?
4. Can you give me a copy of your handbook or any other documents you have in relation to the duties performed by union reps?

Dear Abdul

 

Further to your request which we received on 12 March 2019, submitted
under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, please note our responses in
italics below:

 

You asked: How many trade union reps are there working at the college.

Our response: We have 13 local Trade Union Representatives.

 

You asked: How much time do reps get for their union duties?

Our response: For teaching staff who are local Trade Union Representatives
they are given a total of 693 hours remission (allocated time) which they
can allocate accordingly across Teaching Staff. All Support Staff
Representatives are given reasonable time for Union duties.

 

You asked: How many full time union reps are there?

Our response: We have no full time local Representatives.

 

You asked: Can you give me a copy of your handbook or any other documents
you have in relation to the duties performed by union reps?

Our response: As the College Management team, this is not something which
we have access to. If this exists it would be something which would be
between the Trade Union Branches and their local Representatives.

 

I trust this satisfies your request,

Yours sincerely
