Southend Borough Council is unfairly forcing staff to use a day’s leave on Christmas Eve! Read about the Southend UNISON’s protest in today’s Echo! #Southend #southendonsea

Scan of Southend Echo newspaper cutting showing UNISON members gathered on the steps of the Civic Centre. The article reads: “UNISON PROTEST AGAINST FORCED LEAVE DECISION: Angry protesters made a stand against Southend Council who they say “played Scrooge” with their Christmas leave. A group of UNISON members gathered on the steps of the Civic Centre last week. It followed a decision to force staff to take leave on Christmas Eve with the offices closing for the day. Branch Secretary Claire Wormald said: “The council have got a cheek to demand that we lose leave to meet their penny-pinching plans.” There are also concerns about staff cuts and falling wages.”
