Dear Colleagues
2009 Wage Review
Our members would know that in the contents of a Joint Statement on behalf of the Company and Union, it was stated that the Company would be reviewing its economic position again and that it was expected that this review would be completed by the end of December. This in turn would enable the Company to be able to decide whether or not its economic and financial position could afford some form of wage offer.
The Trade Union met the Company today of which it requested the Company view and position on whether or not it was going to make some form of award to its employees.
The Company stated it was not in a position to respond today but expected to be in a position to advise the Union by the end of December.
The Trade Union took the opportunity the advise the Company’s senior management team of the importance of responding constructively in so far that they made some form of award. The Union and its representatives are fully aware of both the concern of its membership and the frustration with the time that this taking and have equally communicated this to the Company’s management team.
In conclusion, I am therefore expecting a response that will advise the Union one way or the other on whether or not the Company will make a wage offer of some description by the end of this month. Once I receive this information, I will immediately advise all union shop stewards who will advise our members as quickly as possible.
Yours sincerely
Ron Webb
National Secretary, Logistics

ReplyDeletecome on we have had enough of this, the deal was we now go to the ballet ! so come brothers lets all rise surley you have all had enough ???????????????????????????????????????
ReplyDeleteDear all this is from the JOINT STATEMENT
ReplyDelete1 The Company reminded the Representatives that as advised in the letter regarding a pay-freeze, issued to all employees in April, the Company had stated that the situation would continue to be monitored. This is still the case. The Company continues to monitor business performance each month and will review the issue of pay reviews again in December.
As we still have eight working days left in December, we have to show patience and give the Company the time that was agreed with the Union.
After that time and if the Company do not respond .Then feel free to post your anger with the Company and the Union.
is it going to be back dated.if it is it'll be nice to have a little bonus for all the hard work i did before being forced out the door.

With reference to the first comment. Can I suggest that you re-read Ron Webb's communication but this time be sure to engage your brain and just maybe you might be able to see that we are doing everything in our power to help you. Also try reading between the lines a little. Can I also suggest that you try and make your scathing citiscisms of the very people that are doing their best to help you a little more constructive.
ReplyDeletewe should all be gratefull for the unthankfull tasks you the shop stewards do , but i cant see what the company will know in 8 more working days than it knows now ! the union are not treating us badly but GB oils are ! the time has come ,
ReplyDeleteI totally agree and its obvious the company are stalling. Unfortunately we are unable to take any action until the time agreed has expired.
