Date set for manual workers’ pay tribunal
Tuesday 19th August 2008, 1:00PM BST.
A TRIBUNAL hearing to settle the States manual workers’ pay and conditions dispute will be held on 8 September.
It will make a binding award and in doing so bring to an end nearly nine months of discussion between Unite and the Public Sector Remuneration Committee.
There was a strike on 21 July and a second one is said to be likely, perhaps as soon as the bank holiday weekend. Unite regional industrial organiser Ron Le Cras (pictured) has refused to deny or confirm that a date has been set.
The tribunal is set to go ahead at St Pierre Park Hotel and details of the panel members will be displayed at the Greffe shortly.
And although he refused to comment on whether further industrial action was going to take place, Mr Le Cras said that if it did, he imagined it would take a similar form to that of July.

Surely further strike action this weekend is just vindictive given there is now a date set for the final tribunal.
The assurance has been given that the dispute will be ended following the meeting on the 9th Sept so why is more strike action threatened for the interim?
Exercise some restraint and keep some sympathy for your cause rather than striking for the sake of it.
