As a result of unprecedented compounding pressure from our industrial action mandate, affiliate engagement and public scrutiny, ITF management are finally moving at the bargaining table.
We carefully considered the employer’s offer and agreed to postpone our Industrial Action dates on 22 and 29 July, while reserving our right to give notice for new strike dates if negotiations fail to progress in a satisfactory manner.
We have secured:
- Agreement to extend consultation period to minimum of 80 days, with commitment to use this time to ensure staff concerns are adequately addressed
- Agreement to provide further financial disclosure
- Agreement to schedule meeting with ITF General Secretary
- Commitment to continue negotiations on all other items and to make significant progress by end of July
While we have achieved an important step forward, our dispute has not been resolved.
We will need to continue to apply steady pressure to secure a fair resolution.
Our overtime ban and mandate to “work to rule” remains in full effect.
