Public Sector: Trade Union Officials
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what his policy is on public sector trade union facility time transparency.
Answered by Georgia Gould
The Government is committed to ensuring there is sufficient facility time for all trade union representatives, in both the public and private sector, so that they have capacity to represent and defend workers, negotiate with employers and conduct training. There are no monetary allowances for trade union facility time other than paid time to carry out their duties. Public sector organisations are required to publish transparency data on facility time each year.
