7.0  APPOINTMENT OF APPEALS AND DISPUTES COMMITTEE

The National terms and conditions anticipated that locally agreed appeals procedures would be in place in all local authorities by the end of 1997.  Most Councils in the region now have such arrangements in place, and the Joint Secretaries are anxious to encourage the remaining Councils to do so.  The national negotiations have recently formally relinquished their role in these mechanisms.

(NOTE:  In the event that a meeting of the Regional Appeals Committee is needed it will consist of equal numbers to be chosen from the Employers’ Side and the Trades Union Side in such manner as the respective sides may from time to time determine. Provided that no member or officer of a local authority which is a party to such a reference shall be chosen, or if chosen shall not sit in such reference, and provided that members chosen from the Employers’ Side shall include in,  and for any reference, at least 1 member of a local authority of the same type as that which is the party to the reference.)
