Consequently all bans remain in place. The parties are appearing before IRC Commissioner Ritchie in Newcastle at 1000 hours tomorrow, where the Department will make application for Dispute Orders against the Union. It is the Department that has bought on this dispute, and the Department that can end it. Our demand is eminently reasonable - simply that FRNSW management remain true to their word.
