Special meeting at Unity House, 23rd of May 2009

A special meeting was called today at Unity House, with union representatives present from the various renewals companies that were balloted earlier on in the month for industrial action.
Present were Mick Cash and a number of other members of the union's executive council, the principal topic was what were we going to do as the next step. The ballot results had been in awhile and the deadline for acting was upon us.
The decision was for action, whether it be strike action or action short of striking which was determined by the ballot at each compny.
This fact will be conveyed to all concerned, the dates and times of any action.
Our full time union officer wasn't able to be present, as he was elsewhere at a meeting with company management discussing the subject of pending job losses, etc. One of our union representative was able to attend this meeting, but I can't say much more than that until we hear from him about it.
That's pretty much it at present, nothing particularly promising at all, especially with the announcement on the high output work being put back apparently till January next year by Network Rail.
