Dear Colleague
LOCAL GOVERNMENT PAY
DISPUTE 2000
As you know UNISON's
Industrial Action Committee met earlier today in London Ihave now
been advised of the statement issued by the industrial Action Committee
following its meeting. The statement reads as follows -
'The Committee
reafflrms its strong support for the current industrial action and
the continuing fight by members in Scotland to reach a successful
concluston to the dispute.
"It notes
that talks are likely to take place and calls on the Employers to
enter these constructively.
"The Committee
will meet again in early January to review the situation, having
the views of the Local Government Forum, and it will look positively
at the call for escalation should the talks break down."
In the light
of this, Matt Sinith, The Scottish Secretary has written to the
Employers' Side Leader requesting that talks should now re-open
immediately.
I shall of course
keep you advised and a full report of today's decision will be made
to the next meeting of the Local Government Forum to be held on
Tuesday 12 December 2000
Yours sincerely
Joe Di Paola
Scottish Organiser (Local Government)
