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.
