Turret Pilot Update - Result of Members Ballot - Unit 5

The purpose of this post is to provide an update from the desk top ballot of members’ who work on the Turrets in Unit 5 on Tuesday 4th November 2008. Thanks to all the members who participated and gave their views.

As there was a meeting with Senior DCPU Management in Unit 5 to formally discuss the roll out of the pilot we thought that it would be beneficial to obtain up to date feedback (we had previously undertaken two walk rounds and audits of the rooms and also held a members’ meeting and ballot during the early stages of the roll out).

The results of the questions put to the members on 4th November 2008 were as follows:

a) Do you think that the roll out of the pilot on the Turrets has delivered its stated aims set out in the joint statement about availability on starting/ finishing times?
Yes = 40 No = 11

b) Do you think that the roll out of the pilot on the Turrets has delivered its stated aims set out in the joint statement about being able to state your preference without coercion?

Yes = 35 No = 15

The next stage is for the above to be raised with Senior DCPU Management on Tuesday 4th November 2008. A feedback circular will hopefully be issued from the meeting.
