My understanding is that MGT have not budged from the 'derisory' offer and that the last couple of meetings have been short lived as a result. Union (of which I am not currently a member) wont or rather can not ballot the members until MGT have made the offer a full and final one which is not the case.
So, it seems like the unions are playing hardball, but unfortunately this could go on for some time. Got this from bumping into an old colleague who is one of the negotiators this morning.
Any comments on union membership fine if PMed or on a seperate thread.
