All TUI members in Institutes of Technology are being balloted on the redeployment process for the IoTs which was negotiated with the assistance of the Labour Relations Commission.
This is an important ballot and all members who are entitled to vote are encouraged to exercise their right to vote.
Ballot papers issue from TUI Head Office on Monday, 9th June 2014 and are due for return to the auditors Deloitte by 5pm on Thursday 19th June using the reply paid envelope. Please post by midday on Wednesday 18th June at the latest to ensure your ballot arrives on time.
The Executive Committee of TUI is recommending that members VOTE YES to accept the redeployment process for the Institutes of Technology.
TUI members balloted to accept the ‘Croke Park Agreement’ and the ‘Haddington Road Agreement’ and are therefore signed up to the redeployment provisions contained in these agreements. In such circumstances, the Executive Committee has approved the sectoral redeployment scheme for the IoTs as the best that can be secured for TUI members. In particular, the scheme is a better option for TUI members than the general public service redeployment scheme operated by the Public Appointments Service (the PAS scheme) and is preferable to any process that may be introduced without input from TUI. The Executive is also of the view that the scheme ensures continued protection from compulsory redundancy for TUI members on permanent contracts and contracts of indefinite duration (CIDs).
