The Joint Staff Employer Forum is a group where
trade union/staff and employer representatives can discuss issues
referred from departmental consultative forums, plus give feedback
on existing policies and procedures. National
issues such as pay and pensions, general 'industrial relations',
welfare, health and safety, equalities can also be
discussed.
The Forum includes Councillors,
Officers and Trade Union representatives.
With effect from 7th April 2011 the forum operates as a closed working party
so is not open to the public.
Members of City Council staff
who are not part of the Forum will be allowed to attend its
meetings at the discretion of the Chair, but will be asked to leave
when the panel debates confidential or exempt information in closed
session.
