I would love to know what the ACAS facilitator actually made of last weeks efforts.
So would I !!!
If BALPA could tell us, I am sure they would have done so by now, no matter who's side he was on. So they are very likely legally prevented from telling us. This could mean that the facilitator was totally on our side, or it could simply mean that confidentiality clauses were signed from the outset, which covered a period of time, rather than, until the end of the talks.
We will find out where this dispute is going by the end of today I am sure. I am still maintaining hope that it will all have been sorted out and strike action will be avoided. Otherwise, I will strike for as long as our reps think it is a good idea. They have my full support, respect, and confidence.
