"The members who have contacted UNISON believe this process will go ahead regardless of their opinions as staff have been told they will match to posts before the process has finished and prior to a matching panel being scheduled," said Inez Teece, Branch Secretary, in UNISON's response to the consultation.

Other concerns include a reduction in the number of posts when workloads are already unmanageable, how the matching process will work with differently sized posts and the move towards functionality.

"Although this review is to be cost neutral there are concerns that changes are being driven by 'efficiency' rather than improving services for staff and customers," added Inez.
