TUC SW letter to Wiltshire Council on Fire and Rehire

The TUC South West have today (Monday) reached out to Wiltshire Council to urge them not to proceed with their misguided and heavy-handed plans to fire and rehire a substantial portion of their workforce.

The Trades Union Congress is unequivocal that the tactic of threatening “fire and rehire” to water down workers’ terms and conditions is unacceptable.

We are therefore extremely disappointed to learn that Wiltshire Council is using it to push through changes to contracts that will reduce workers’ pay during a cost-of-living crisis and an unprecedented period of real wages squeeze.

We strongly urge you to change your approach.
