Above is a copy of a letter to member's updating them on the situation regarding the pending dispute with Amey over redundancies within Amey's welder's section. An agreement was eventually reached on the matter and the dispute was satisfactorily resolved without the need of action. It was just a pity that it couldn't have been sorted a lot earlier than the eleventh hour, but it went down to the wire. Our members held firm, showing support for their welding colleagues.

If it hadn't been resolved satisfactorily, it would have boded ill for the future.
