The people in attendance at the conference will then have their opportunity to ask questions, debate the issues and look at/decide upon the various options and issues.

INDUSTRIAL ACTION REMINDER
All members are directed to continue to apply the overtime (paid or unpaid) and recall bans until further notice. If there are difficulties with applying these bans then members should contact the Branch to discuss the situation if you have not already done so.
No "life and limb" work should be undertaken until it is cleared with the Branch officials.
The overtime bans clearly include no unpaid overtime. That includes no logging on prior to your normal start time, particularly for those members in Service Delivery who are dispatched via CONNECT.
The union has notified for "an indefinite stoppage" for all members every day until further notice. However, members should only take "indefinite stoppage" action following a written or verbal directive from the branch officials.
As members return to work from holidays, the action will begin to ramp up again. Our members in the Argent area of Next Generation Operations have walked out and are considering further action.
Contact the branch officials as necessary.
