I had to appeal also, was on the same wage as litter pickers and got well fed up with it. The trouble is once you work for a council you want to continue to do so to get your good pension etc. Luckily for me our tree gang was reconstructed and its a career based thing now where there is one arborist, one senior arborist (me) and a team leader. Unfortunately the arborist is on the same wage as litter pickers still.

 

I reckon for future purposes it might be an idea to pool our thoughts to create a list of duties, responsibilities and exposure to danger etc, so that when we are faced with job evaluation again we are armed to the teeth.

 

What other gang setups do you guys have? I feel the team leader position should require climbing so that its not left to the two dogs to do all the barking.
