Social Partnership - Annual Report (2024/25)

6. Trade Union Feedback (Unison, Unite and GMB)

The joint recognised Trade Unions within Carmarthenshire County Council welcome the opportunity to engage as genuine social partners with the Council as defined by the Social Partnership & Procurement Wales Act 2023.

The Trade Unions want to see a transparent and committed joint approach that identifies the necessary changes required to achieve common goals, that brings positive outcomes for our membership. This needs to include a jointly agreed strategy that identifies the necessary steps required to introduce meaningful partnership working in Carmarthenshire Country Council.

The Trade Unions recognise that a clear strategy is essential when seeking to maximise the opportunities identified within the Act and being able to achieve joint goals. 

To that end we request a detailed strategy is jointly developed which sets out the highest standards as enshrined within the Act.
