Questions at the Ready! Neath Port Talbot UNISON's Fair Funding/SOS Campaign will move up a gear this week with a “Question Time” event in Port Talbot Civic Centre. The event will be a vital chance for NPTCBC staff to put our case for fair funding to our locally elected AMs and MPs. The panel for the event will include Stephen Kinnock MP (Aberavon), Christina Rees MP (Neath), Carolyn Harris MP (Swansea East), Mike Hedges AM (Swansea East), Lee Waters AM (Llanelli), Cllr Anthony Hunt (Leader, Torfaen), Cllr Rob Jones (Leader NPT) and Steven Phillips Chief Executive NPT. It will take place in the Council Chamber at Port Talbot Civic Centre on Friday 11th October starting at 1pm and ending at 2pm. Granted paid time off to attend this event has been agreed for ALL staff by the Chief Executive, but is subject to service needs and you should negotiate this with your line manager. This event is for ALL staff, not just UNISON members, and is YOUR opportunity to have YOUR say on how budget cuts are affecting your work and what impact they are having on service delivery and on vulnerable people within our communities. Together we can make a difference, so please make every effort to attend the meeting. Even if you don't want to ask a question, it is essential that we show our locally elected AM’s and MP’s that we are all fully behind the campaign and that we can't continue with cuts to our vital services. Enough is enough - we need Fair Funding for the vital services that Neath Port Talbot Council provides! UNISON Office, Port Talbot Civic Centre SA13 1PJ Tel : 01639 763820 Email: [email protected] .
