First UNITE Executive Council meeting

The first meeting of the UNITE Executive Council took place last week. I apologise that I haven't been able to post a proper report - I've hurt my shoulder and am trying to avoid long periods at a keyboard - not easy in my job!

I notice that Gill George has posted a report on her web site, but I haven't had a chance to read it yet.

Thompsons solicitors have produced a helpful summary of the case and the issues it raises.

Fujitsu workers vote for action

The CWU web site reports that their members at Fujitsu Solihull have delivered a hefty majority for strike action in opposition to plans to end manufacturing there.

Let's hope the talks get some results.
