Derwent Valley Council has been accused of disrespecting staff by keeping early childhood educators at Valley Children's Centre in the dark about their employment future.
The council's budget slashed funding for Children's Services this year, and there is no expected income or planned expenditure on Children's Services after June 2023.
According to Australian Services Union organiser Samantha Batchelor, the decision to keep staff in the dark was typical of a council that has shown so little regard for early childhood workers.
After many months, the ASU and Council have agreed on the appointment of an independent external investigator, Jon Morley from Wise Workplace Solutions, to hear your concerns about your workplace.
The workplace culture issues at Horsham Rural City Council are serious and need to be addressed so every worker has a workplace free from bullying and harassment.
The investigation is workers chance to have a confidential discussion about your concerns with working at Horsham Rural City Council.
This confidential process is open to all staff, and we encourage you to take part and raise any concerns about Horsham Rural City’s workplace culture.
