Trade Union Staff

The request was partially successful.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to request information under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 regarding payments made to trade union employees.

I would like to know the following information broken down going back over the last three financial years if possible:

1. The job title of trade union staff.
2. The Full Time Equivelent hours claimed, put in or salaried for.
3. The pay grade for trade union staff.
4. Union name.
5. If the employee is a part time one, do they have another role within the council, what is their job title and paygrade.
6. Has the trade union member applied for redundancy, if they have left or leaving the council. How much are or were they entitled to and how much did they claim. Also can I please have the leaving date of when they relinquished their duties as a trade union employee.
7. Please attach job descriptions for the individual employees.

If you need further clarification, please contact me by email. My preferred format to receive the information is electronically, but I can accept hard copies.

Some parts of this request may be easier to answer than others, and in such case I would ask that you release available data as soon as possible rather than delay the entire request.

If FOIA requests of a similar nature have been asked already, please could you include your responses to those requests. If the costs of processing this request exceed the limit in the Act, please advise on what information you are able to supply within the cost limit.

I would be grateful if you could confirm in writing that you have received this request. I look forward to your response within 20 working days, as outlined by the statute.

Yours faithfully,

Liam Billington
