UNISON TO ASK TRUST FOR AN EXTRA DAYSHOLIDAY
Unison is to ask the Trust for recognition for staff in coping with the winter pressures, an extra day holiday for this year or a one off bonus payment.
We will advise the Trust that this would be a way of rewarding all staff for all the hard work they have put in regarding both the winter pressures and for helping the Trust meet its targets.
