Devolution. The employer agrees to advise the Union of any initiatives that involve the devolution of, or the removal and/or relocation outside of the bargaining unit, any services to or from the Xxxx Xxxxxx Society of Saskatchewan.

The following principles will be followed in all situations where service provision is turned over to another community organization:

Devolution. In ancient times, political power was enforced by clubs and spears, and later emanated from the muzzle of a gun, so it was of necessity tied to a particular territory of land defended by an army. But if humanity can evolve beyond warfare, or at least be assured of peace within wide territorial units, then the ultimate basis of the state need no longer be military in nature. That means that government actions and policies may be developed and applied in a manner more subtle than territorial defense. With the Internet, political constituencies need no longer be defined in terms of geographic districts, but can devolve to the subgroups of humanity most concerned with any issue. Thus it becomes possible to achieve what Xxxxx Xxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxxxx (1995) called non-spatial government. There have been examples in the past when governmental jurisdictions overlapped to some degree, depending upon different functions that were performed. Voting districts, school districts, and postal delivery areas often fail to coincide. The Tennessee Valley Authority was created by the United States government in 1933 to serve energy needs and manage resources in an area covering portions of seven states. President Xxxxxxxxx conceptualized it as a new kind of organization, “a corporation clothed with the power of government but possessed of the flexibility and initiative of a private enterprise” [URL 8]. However one may judge that particular experiment, which continues to the present day, it suggests that for certain purposes even old-fashioned forms of government could aggregate geographic areas in different ways for different purposes. Today’s communication technology allows us to escape geographic boundaries altogether, for some public purposes. Just as fluid democracy seeks to assemble people into networks in which temporary opinion leaders may represent constantly fluctuating constituencies, the scope of decision-making and policy application may be geographically different for every topic, and at each historical moment. For some policy issues, quite different systems may coexist in a given area, but serving different constituencies. A good hypothetical example is marriage laws. In secular societies, marriage is no longer a sacred institution bound by traditional customs, but a kind of contract, and there can be many different versions. Over the course of human history, a wide range of marital practices abounded. Whatever we may personally think of them, many ancient societ...

Devolution. In November 2014 a devolution deal was agreed with Central Government for Greater Manchester. Part of the devolution of power was around the skills and employment landscape. The vision is: ‘Our ambition is to create an integrated employment and skills eco-system, which has the individual and employer at its heart, and that better responds to the needs of residents, business and the economy’.. The ambition of the devolution agreement is to achieve better outcomes for residents by securing significant influence, and ultimately control, over public spending in Greater Manchester (GM). The agreement was made on the condition that the GMCA will adopt a mayoral model of governance. The benefits of the agreement cover a range of thematic areas including investment funds; transport; business support; housing; and planning. There are 5 key components of the employment and skills devolution agreement, one component is the expansion of the existing Working Well Programme, ultimately supporting 50,000 people to progress towards employment. Building on the existing pilot Working Well Programme, the Working Well Expansion Programme will provide participants with integrated, intensive support going forward. Current Performance of the Working Well Programme Across GM, around 227,000 people are claiming out-of-work benefit. The cost of worklessness and the impact of low-pay have now reached over £2 billion. Rather than a nationally led scheme, the Working Well Programme is managed and led locally which offers us the opportunity to work with local providers who understand the local landscape and can deliver bespoke solutions and products to get the long term unemployed back into work. The pilot Working Well Programme to date has achieved 54 out of 50 forecast job starts by April 2015, so is exceeding expectations at this early point Of the eight issues that were cited by the highest proportions of clients as severe presenting issues at the outset of their involvement in the pilot Working Well Programme, all but one have seen larger numbers of clients noting an improved situation (these included mental and physical health). To date there has been an increase in the confidence of pilot Working Well Programme clients in terms of their belief that they will be able to find and obtain work. In addition to this there has been an increase/improvement to the work readiness of clients.
