They've been going on so long they actually went back to the dawn of time in an attempt to make the last deadline. If you want an update of the talks you can now find the minutes at the start of Genesis.
The talks seem far apart still at the moment, both sides are not giving in , serious questions still to be answered ,seems all working sectors are now coming to agreements, and getting offered deals, all ,except us! But on the other hand all our management sides , and those higher up , have all been settled, just us! WHY!
What can they keep talking about.I thought most of our was done and dusted weeks ago. If it’s about the suspended workers then that’s not what we were balloted for. Not the revisions either.
The basic trend of this entire dispute is whenever a deadline is set (be it a specific date or saying talks will continue next week) and it goes past it, normally means little to no progress has been made. Said in previous threads it serves neither side to hold off till a deadline did if they already come to an agreement. What I'm finding irritating is for company that is losing s**t load of money "daily" (both union and RM have said this), none are really in any rush in actually settled this dispute. There's patience, then there is taking the absolute piss. At this point, think majority of the meeting is just staring contests.

Both sides? With no IA this year despite a massive vote I would suggest the union have given in currently.
I assume the "massive yes vote" is there just as a threat. The CWU keep talking about their suspended members and reps every time they prolong this, as if that's what we were all voting for, rather than unrealistic workloads and the complete lack of remuneration for said work. A pay increase isn't a pay increase if it's dependent on you doing more work to attain it
