Negotiations update

Amicus reps today met Fujitsu Services management to seek a resolution to the current dispute at West Gorton. The dispute is over breaches of the union recognition agreement and the Security of Employment Agreement (SEA), and the union's claim for Sick Pay, Equal Pay and Fair Pay. Further talks are planned for Tuesday and Wednesday, as much remains to be resolved. A more detailed report will be issued once jointly agreed.

It is the intention to present an offer from the company to a General Meeting of members on Thursday 4th September. At this meeting, members could decide either to accept the offer, or proceed with the industrial action planned to start on Monday 15th September.
