Union

Dear Ms Foote

Unite Consultative Ballot for Industrial Action

Following the Company’s decision not to make any pay award to my members for the year 2009 and following your communication to me that clearly indicates a lack of respect and recognition of this Union’s bargaining arrangements with reference to pay claims for the 2010 period, this is to advise you that in conjunction with this Union’s shop stewards nationally, employed by you on those contracts where this Union has Union membership, this Union will be carrying out a consultative ballot on the question of our members taking industrial action in support of their pay claim and terms and conditions of employment and their current bargaining arrangements.

I have to say that from a position where both dialogue and communication was much improved and constructive, that it now appears the Company have moved considerably from both developing good industrial relations with this Union and at the same time not attempting to find agreement with this Union.

We are saddened that we have absolutely no choice now but to move in this direction. Of course, my office is always available for any further discussions that you feel might be helpful within this matter going forward.

Yours sincerely

Ron Webb
National Secretary, Logistics
