b. agreed that the protocol on recruitment to the new role agreed with the Trade Unions and appended to the Review of Refuse Operations interim progress report of May 2019 be followed.
c. noted that implementation of the proposals is ultimately subject to a sufficient number (75%) of current Refuse Drivers applying to move to the new Chargehand role so as to become operationally viable (an indicative expression on interest exercise undertaken indicates that 94% of drivers want to become a Crew Chargehand).
