Representatives of the CWU met with Silcar Communications management on Thursday 25 May and again on Tuesday 30May to finalise the proposed arrangements for the transition of employees to the Visionstream Field Agreement.
As reported in E-bulletin #8, these recent discussions have been devoted to reaching agreement on a number of relatively minor but nevertheless important matters where there is significant difference between the current Silcar conditions and those in the Visionstream agreement.
The parties have now reached sufficient agreement on these to move to the next stage which will involve putting the total transition “package” to the wider group of bargaining representatives prior to its going out to all employees for consultation – and finally for a vote.
