Winning Bean Counter at the Regional Organising Fair
Yes, it's true, although some of us suspected it all along, John Gunn is an expert bean counter. In the next reorganisation you might expect him to join Mike Suarez and the rest of the SBC bean counting team.
John Gunn ran a stall on Safety.
Tony House ran a stall about Labour affiliation.
Andrew Gosling ran a stall on electronic
publishing.
Linda Richards also attended the event.
Appeals and Tribunals

Are you a David Brent? Do you work for a David Brent? Do you have a David Brent working for you?
Lots of problems which are left to fester will end up as disciplinaries, appeals, dismissals, appeals, and the Employment Tribunal. SBC has far too many active 'cases', and way beyond what you would expect for its size.
Nip problems in the bud!
If you can see a problem looming on the horizon, talk to your Steward or a Branch Officer.

Fire Alarms with Welly - Boot out bad practice
UNISON recommends making every false alarm a full practice so that all people are moving in the same direction on the stairs and actually clear the building. It is the duty of every member to evacuate the building, and a disciplinary matter not to do so.
You are also putting your warden at risk
if you refuse to leave the building when the alarm is ringing.
Only re-enter the building when Peter Satterthwaite or deputy says it is safe to do so.
Profile of Tony House,
Branch Secretary
As you may know many changes are being made to school support staff pay and working conditions. These are primarily from the government but also from Slough Borough Council. I hope that all staff have received a copy of the booklet 'Pay and Grading proposals for school support staff'. It has not yet been agreed by UNISON who will be giving their thoughts on the document. There has been no discussion with UNISON on Site Controllers or Caretakers roles and responsibilities. Please read the document and if you have any comments or need further information regarding the major changes that are happening to your pay and working conditions, contact Linda Richards, Assistant Branch Secretary on 523699.
