Welcome to Region 3.

National Joint Secretaries Technical Advisory Panel - Durham Shifts

Saturday, 12 May 2012 06:34 Tony Curry & Lee Brown

Brothers & Sisters,

Following lengthy negotiations at the NJC Technical Advisory Panel today (Friday 11th May), no agreement was reached between the FBU and CDDFRS regarding proposed shift revisions.

The independent chair of the panel Professor Willie Brown will now consider the position of both parties over the weekend and make a recommendation on what he believes could possibly form the basis of an agreement, Brigade Officials are not aware of what the recommendation is likely to contain at this time.

Both parties will have 14 days in which to decide if the recommendation is acceptable. The recommendation is not binding on either party.

Professor Brown has been informed that the FBU has convened a Brigade Committee meeting for Monday 14th of May, it is hoped the recommendation will be made available prior to this meeting in order to facilitate further discussion.

Once further updates are available they will be communicated via normal FBU structures. As ever any decision based upon the recommendation will ultimately be decided by you, the membership.

Regards,

Tony Curry
FBU Brigade Secretary

Lee Brown
FBU Brigade Chair

TO: All Members London

Dear Brother/Sister,

Call for Industrial Action

Members have been notified of the industrial action following the ballot for action short of a strike.

As the person authorised to make the call for industrial action I confirm that continues to be the position but, in addition, from 09:30 hours on 29^th February 2012 the following will also apply as part of the ongoing action short of a strike:

A ban on any new voluntary acting up or temporary promotion regardless of shift or location within the brigade and its boundaries;

A ban on participating in all voluntary courses and exercises.

This is the action which has been determined upon. We hope the matter will be resolved shortly. If not, any further forms of action to be called in respect of this ongoing industrial action will be notified once determined. Members are now instructed to take continuous industrial action as specified above and previously, and any further action to be so notified. In the case of the additional action set out above, this is to commence from and not earlier than 09.30 hours on 29^th February 2012.

Best wishes.

Yours fraternally,

MATT WRACK

General Secretary
