That we note that the talks at ACAS have been fraught and the contempt for our members shown by the company and their internal imbalance and inability to address
the issues of this dispute.
We also note the view of members expressed at the joint branch meeting last week;where they voted to put down more strike action.

That we note the request from the company to attend ACAS; but that they have put nothing forward to resolve this dispute.
The strike remains on; and we look forward to receiving a meaningful resolution from the company to be discussed at ACAS at the earliest opportunity from Monday.
