HULL CITY COUNCIL: HCAL WORKERS STAND UNITED – DON’T DIVIDE THEM
Employees at Hull Culture and Leisure (HCAL), which is a limited company wholly owned by Hull City Council, have been told that a small section of the workforce (park ranger service) is set to be transferred back in house, leaving the remainder of the parks team who work in the animal education centre, aviaries, bowls, pitches and sports areas, out in the cold.
Why is this important?
We are calling on Hull City Council to put this right and to TUPE everyone who works at HCAL back in-house, for the following reasons:
• Hull City Council staff currently receive better terms and conditions than HCAL staff.
• HCAL is making losses year on year – in 2023 this was reported at £2.2 million.
• HCAL staff are all on different terms and conditions – if everyone was transferred back to Hull City Council this would mean contracts would eventually be harmonised.
• There is a lack of career development and progression for HCAL staff.
• And there is a lack of communication when advertising cold water swimming, which left staff stressed and anxious.
Please support our campaign to get everyone in HCAL transferred back in house.
