FOI release

Sums paid to trade unions

Published 21 June 2010

Please find below information relating to FOI request ‘Sums paid to trade unions’.

We were asked about sums paid to Trade Unions and Union Facility time.

No sums were paid directly by the Wales Office to any trade unions in either 2008-09 or 2009-10.

In line with the ACAS Code of Practice “Time off for Trades Union Duties and Activities”, one member of staff had 11 hours trade union facility time during the 2009-10 period with PCS. This equates to around 0.01 fte (full time equivalent)
