Greg,
Unfortunately, when only a small minority are adversely affected
the "I'm all right, Jack" principle wins the day. My own union (AUT at the
time) was not too keen on HAY, but HR and the other unions were.

Small reminder: a union is composed of its members. If your reps aren't
doing their jobs, sack 'em! (Of course, that would mean someone else
having to take their places...) And who allowed HAY in, for goodness'
sake? Even managers are wary of it, these days (mainly because it still
leaves them open to charges of unequal pay - which is THE issue that JE
is supposed to address!).
Don't get mad, get organised (as we used to say on the barricades...).

Greg,
Leeds seems to be the most blatant example of HERA-assisted
downgrading of library staff. From the point of view of local interest,
here
at Keele HAY was used with caution to preserve the status quo for the
most
part, my own post being an exception. Thanks to collusion between the
unions
and HR, a number of posts were singled out for red-circling in the
grading
(rather than job evaluation) process. Our former bedfellows in
Information
Services, who were re-branded as IT a year ago, have fared better than
library staff, but then their star is in the ascendant and ours is on
the
wane.
