Talks with management continue tomorrow and Wednesday. We don't want to spend a lot of time agreeing a report on Friday's talks with management, only for things to change tomorrow. We aim to have an agreed progress statement after tomorrow's talks.
At Friday's meeting we presented a petition, signed by 535 Fujitsu Services West Gorton staff. The petition read:
We the undersigned believe that:
a) Changes to our Terms and Conditions or Working Practices should be negotiated with us through the union, not unilaterally imposed by management
b) If employees choose to be represented in a meeting, managers should not deny them that right
The General Meeting for members will be:
3pm-4:30pm, Thursday 4th September
MAN05 restaurant
This meeting will consider any further offer from the company, and either accept that offer, or reaffirm the industrial action planned for Monday 15th September. It is therefore vital that all members based at West Gorton (including home workers with a West Gorton admin base) attend the meeting.
Meanwhile, plans for the 15th are taking shape, with most of the route for the march already agreed with the police.
