Nottingham Library workers still resisting uniforms

Joe Hill | 26.02.2008 17:50 | Culture | Social Struggles | Workers' Movements | Birmingham | Nottinghamshire

Nottingham Library workers are still opposing attempts by Michael Farter and his management henchmen to force them into polyester hell.

Library workers are still opposing attempts by Michael Farter and his management henchmen to force them into polyester hell. Strangely enough, they think they're individuals who know how to dress without his help, and that the money would be better spent on books.
Tuesday 26th Feb saw another article in the Evening Post about it.
 http://www.thisisnottingham.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=133965&command=displayContent&sourceNode=133948&contentPK=19986821&moduleName=InternalSearch&formname=sidebarsearch
If you want to support library workers, or if you want to stop this waste of money, why not add your comment to it, or write your own letter to the Post? You could write to your councillor too.
Funny how the council have got enough money to dress everyone up as clones, but not enough to keep open Victoria Leisure Centre. Or is there maybe a chance that they don't care what about what people really want?

Fact checking

As Mr Frater is just the executive (ie a very highly paid local administrator) are you sure your ire should be directed at him on this issue. Surely its the politicians, such as Jon Collins who decide policy. Given that Frater and Collins dislike each other so much it would seem odd if Frater is a willing implementer of political policy.

Direction of ire

27.02.2008 18:37

There is enough ire for both Collins & Farter to share.

The word (which I believe to be true, although have no evidence) is that Farter commissioned private consultants to come up with a report recommending ways to increase the council's star rating, and uniforming all staff was one of the brilliant ideas these parasites had. So it would be a loss of face to back down on it now.

Some elected councillors have tried to voice their opposition to this plan, but have been unable to make any impact or be listened to in the city's presidential system.

Many of the recent exciting, high-impact, etc, etc, schemes (uniforms, proud signs, and so on) have started since Farter started.
