Bristow negotiations have not been going too well! The union have now fallen out with the company and are in dispute mode. The next stage is the formal 'standing conference' where the MD and the union Gen Sec join in, on the 2nd December. Yes, it is quite a long time between the last meeting, 10th November, and the next one; apparently the MD is away somewhere!
The result of the recent 'indicative ballot' was;
Returns 84%
Yes (in favour of strike action) 95%
No (against strike action) 5%
Seems no doubt as to where this is going.
