On 18 October 2018 the 3rd meeting with management took place. After management´s “thorough” analysis of the union claims over the last couple of months that included asking for clarification on certain points to “fully understand” our underlying motives for such claims, they provided a single package offer. This offer has now revealed managements true underlying intentions, which after even a short review shows that there is a very large gap between the two positions.
It was our hope to have provided you with better news, but the fact remains that the negotiations process itself lead by the management team lacks in our opinion constructive guidance. A lot of time has been wasted so we again have proposed blocks of negotiation dates and a clearer timeline for future meetings.
The unions have provided two dates to management in hope that we can progress more effectively. Again, considering the very wide gap between our positions, we see these negotiations are not on a healthy path.
