Dispute - Parking Implementation in Viewforth Car Park
On the 19th August 2009 UNISON lodged a dispute in regard to the new parking regulations at the Viewforth complex with the Chief Executive which stated that although UNISON realises that changes have to be made on Health and Safety grounds, there has been no meaningful consultation with the trade unions prior to the implementation of new parking areas, although it was stated that there would be further consultation. There appear to be a large numbers of empty spaces identified for council vehicles while employees cannot find spaces.The issue of a two tier system for parking is an equality issue and we feel that there should not be specifically identified areas for Councillors and Directors as it was indicated that the new system is on a first come first served basis. We therefore feel that we have no other option but to declare a formal dispute and we would seek meaningful consultation with the Council as soon as possible.We await a response and further consultation on this issue.
