I had an email from the area sec and he said the meeting would conclude today with an announcement possibly Thursday at the earliest. That's all I know at the mo.

I can't imagine them giving an amazing deal just when we threaten strikes.

The strikes should go ahead as planned and talks can run concurrently. No good outcome, no end to the strikes.

I asked the managers if they'd heard anything but as far as they claimed to be aware, they are still on. Not that i would trust anything that comes out of their anuses.

Surlely they would have to announce today as if people have rest day tommorrow and ping off up the road on a jolly they are still unaware that the indutrial action has been canncelled and can still leagally strike, No sorry hopefully this is rumour mongeringLeighton did not seem keen on deals on sky yesterday, even if a deal is close until it is signed off the IA should stand this firm needs to be reminded that whilst Crozier Leighton and the OLD STREET floatela sit back and earn fu#king good money on our sweat and graft we pull the strings not them. Anmd if there idea of diversaty is to treat everybody like cack by killing there pension, and have everybody bent of a flexibility barrel than he should think again.
