The following statement was
overwhelmingly adopted by last Friday's meeting of Amicus Health National
Advisory Committee.
Agenda
for Change Amicus MSF Position
Amicus believes the principles of Equal Value should be applied to the
whole of the Agenda for Change process and any agreements which result from
that principle. We further believe that before members can be asked to indicate
their support or otherwise for the Agenda for Change proposal, they should be
in a position to reasonably assess their own place on the proposed scales.
Members will also need to be certain of the protections, and other
arrangements, which will apply on implementation.
Amicus recognise the progress which has been made towards these ends and
believes that the Early Implementation process and the subsequent review of the
arrangements, are capable of resolving the outstanding
issues. In these circumstances we agree that we should ballot members with a
recommendation that the process of Early Implementation and the subsequent
review should proceed. After the inclusion of the negotiated review conclusions
in the Agenda for Change “proposed agreement”, Amicus will ballot its members
on whether they accept the modified “proposed agreement” for full roll out in
October 2004.
By the time that ballot takes place two of the proposed increases in pay
under the three year, 10% proposal would have occurred.
