By Steve Hedley, Regional Organiser

We met management at ACAS to once again try and safeguard your jobs by simply getting them to abide by their own agreements.

We discussed the latest position at the Regional Council meeting this Thursday 1630 at Somers Town Community Centre (150 Ossulston Street, Camden [nearest station King's Cross]). We had to discuss the dispute at the Regional Council because management have turned down our request for paid release of reps.

No progress was made at ACAS because management refused to discuss pay or bullying and still refused to honour the 'no compulsory redundancy' deal.

The meeting agreed unanimously to recommend the Executive Committee to call more strike days and to co-ordinate them with other workers including National Rail who will be striking soon.

I will keep you informed of all developments.
