Members are advised that the Employment Court Judge delivered his verdict to the Union this afternoon. The Judge has ordered that the Union and the Employer must return to mediation before notice of strike action is given to the employer.
To that end the strike action planned to start on the 1st July 2011 and postponed by the Union at the request of the Courts to Saturday 9th July at 08:00 cannot now take place.
A further notice and clarification will be available on Monday.
Members will know that effective Noon, Friday the 29th May, Government has changed the Level 2 COVID-19 restrictions with an increase in gatherings to 100 persons.
With the transition to Level 2 and the elimination of station bubbles, the risk of exposure to members has been increased.
As staff will know the Prime Minister has announced a move from tomorrow to COVID-19 Alert Level 2, and as a result, we will begin a controlled transition to “Business as Usual”.
