The ATCOs’ Branch pay team met today in what was accepted as the final meeting with management in a protracted set of pay negotiations.
Having started the day at an impasse, discussions continued due to recognising the severity of the situation.
Management are considering their position overnight as a result of discussions that took place today. They will report to us tomorrow morning. Whatever the result of that conversation, the pay team will report to the BEC at an emergency meeting Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.
We also meet as an NTUS tomorrow and there will be further communications following that meeting.
We share our members’ frustrations but request that you bear with us during this delicate stage of the pay negotiations.
