Framework Agreement Developments

Following the meeting on Friday when we withdrew from co-operation we were gratified by the speed of the Vice-chancellor's response and even more so by this one -

Colleagues,

Please note below Mike Thorne's follow-up email concerning CMT's position on the Framework paper. We can discuss this at our meeting tomorrow morning. He has now complied with our two requests, providing we accept his responses as adequate.

Regards,
Haydn

Subsequent action

We agreed that the paper be revised in the light of the preceding discussion and approved as a basis for negotiation with the joint trades unions.

The next stage is to discuss the document once we have determined what is and what isn't suitable for negotiating under teh framework agreement - eg change of pay date - it is insulting to think we rejected their measly £50 only 2 years ago but would then accept it as part of another package.

When the Framework document is in a proper format it will be circulated to all members.
