This week the talks between Amicus and Fujitsu Services took place on Wednesday 29th October and Thurs 30th October.
The company gave us a new version of the Redundancy agreement on Wednesday and we provided initial comments so that we were aware of the principles and issues that needed discussion on Thursday.
On Thursday, the company provided an updated statement on pay, which we will be providing comments on before next week's talks. Amicus provided an updated version of the new union recognition agreement which the company have now provided comments on, and we are presently updating this agreement.
The majority of Thursday's talks then concentrated on continuing discussions on the principles and the more difficult issues in the redundancy agreement. During these discussions a new issue came to light and so the company negotiating team have taken this issue back to their redundancy experts and have agreed to provide clarity on the company's position on this issue by Tuesday next week (4th Nov).
The parties have arranged to continue talks on Thursday next week plus one other day (still to be arranged).
