CENTRAL Highlands Regional Library Corporation administration staff feel their jobs are in limbo, according to a staff member.The staff member, who wished to remain anonymous, said 19 administration and mobile library service staff had yet to receive notification their jobs will be safe when the corporation folds at the end of this month.“We’re trying to organise a union meeting for next week,” the staff member said.“We’re all so upset about how it’s all been handled. A lot of people have been here for more than 10 years.”But Ballarat City Council chief executive officer Anthony Schinck said talks would be held with the staff members next week, following similar discussions previously held with branch staff.“I can understand they are feeling a bit vulnerable,” Mr Schinck said.“It seems a bit messy at the moment but we’re having to transition staff and equipment as part of the corporation contemplating winding up.”Mr Schinck said a transition plan had been agreed on yesterday, which would help staff understand the process.“Over the course of the next week we will be meeting with all administration staff. It’s not time critical.”Mr Schinck also reassured the staff members they would have their jobs past June 30.But the staff member said the corporation’s thousands of borrowers were also being left in the dark.“They know nothing and we can’t tell them anything.“It’s very concerning, particularly for a lot of older people.”Ballarat City Council will withdraw from the corporation on June 30 to start its own shared service model.Pyrenees, Hepburn and Central Goldfield shires have given in-principle support to joining Ballarat’s model, while Southern Grampians Shire is still reviewing its options.Ararat Rural City Council is likely to go with a stand-alone library service while Moorabool Shire Council is also looking at either a stand-alone model or joining Melton or Geelong’s library corporations.However, the staff member criticised the time taken to make a decision about the corporation’s future.“If they can’t make a decision, how can they expect the staff to make decisions about their future?”
