Urgent Housing Workers News

 

Centrepoint petition
Important updated news

Following the recent suspension from work of two Unite activists, the situation has now been resolved with the following statement:


"Phil Rose and Maxine Campbell have returned to work.

Leading up to this a lot of dialogue has taken place to fully understand the issues leading up to and subsequent to the incident in question. The learning from this will feed into building a more effective and constructive working relationship between Centrepoint and Unite in the future.

With this in mind, neither party feel, as things stand, it would be in the spirit of a constructive working relationship to discuss the specific details further."

This statement notwithstanding, Phil and Maxine has asked that we pass on their thanks for the solidarity shown by those who signed the petition, which made an important contribution in resolving this dispute satisfactorily.'

 

 

Ford Visteon Workers

 

The mesaage from the Ford Visteon workers who are Unite members is - THE DISPUTE IS NOT OVER !

We have just received this message from them:

Dear Friends

I am so sorry its taken us so long with our thanks with your kind donation back in April as you know we won the fight for redundancies which was great. Sadly we could not save the jobs - but thank you so very much.

We are still together as a new group fighting for pensions. We are called VPAG Visteon Pension Action Group. People will lose from 10% and 65% in some cases so our fight is still alive. Ford must honour their commitments.

Thanks again for your donation.

Linda
