A full report will be made on the outcome of the D&D negotiations with the Government which are now set to conclude tomorrow, Monday 23rd. The elected officials of the Union’s State Committee of Management will meet this Tuesday 24th to make their recommendation to either accept their offer, or to reject it and to resume and/or escalate our industrial action. As previously advised, this dispute is far from being resolved. It is therefore important that as many members as possible attend these meetings – your future may well depend on it.
