The probation Trusts were always excited when they were being assessed for this kitemark. It made no difference to anything except perhaps CEOs who saw it as an ego trip in manipulating a workforce to fall for the performance agendas. But even this was made easy with the ever-willing workforce.

Even staff surveys are manipulated and the headlines are those that have shown them in a positive light with the negative areas being ignored. You can make statistics say anything you like! Think back to the 'press your button' briefings, hilarious, when you ask a question that,can only have a positive response then you get a positive response..PR is a funny ole thing, as the saying goes;don't believe everything you read.

It would appear that the majority of those who are 'safe' in the CRC and don't want jeopardise their future with Sodexo just didn't bother voting, hence the relatively low ballot turnout. Therefore, you are close to the truth of the matter but it is our colleagues that won't strike to save us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578343158425987632.post-56592951586874644292015-08-25T22:17:21.056+01:002015-08-25T22:17:21.056+01:00NAPO members not in CRC can support those effected...NAPO members not in CRC can support those effected by not crossing picket lines.

I am not sure he has appeared to wandered the planes of union business although some might say squandered. He has not frightened any opposition into submission perhaps spurned them on into attack? Hardly warrior. Not to be put off he has kept a dialogue running although they do not listen. He has had us canvassed for strike action and got a return yet despite Soditall offering nothing he has abandoned strike action . He has also got an opportunity meet sodexo bosses but this may have been to offer them his backside for another kicking. Perhaps had he have promised a legal review and asked for test cases . Pledged to members a clear indication to reject the soditco theft and breach of your job security. Theft of your terms and condition theft of your EVR NOT compulsory redundancy then perhaps he could be viewed as less a buffoon and more a political analysis of what he is helping put us through. All said what can you really say about saving the day? Until he realise he should be organising solidarity Soditall will just sit back and pick off the groups and when the last few are left there will be nothing to support. Perhaps you think warrior means something else ?
