More than 100 Bristol City Council workers could soon be transferred to work instead for Bristol Waste, sparking fears of worse pensions and conditions.
Council chiefs are considering transferring 122 staff across six departments, who all carry out “facilities management” roles, to the council-owned company. The Unison trade union is raising concerns, and one councillor warned “working conditions would be compromised”.
The six departments are culture and creative industries; intermediate care; asset strategy; children’s homes; Redfield Lodge care home; early intervention; and targeted services. The move follows a controversial transfer last year of about 200 security staff and cleaners.
