Quotes

The union's regional officer Dave Kennedy said: "The staff work hard to keep Manchester Airport clean - the travelling public will not understand why this company is slashing their pay. "Unite remains committed to resolving this dispute but we need the Mitie management team to get back around the negotiating table and discuss these proposals in a meaningful manner." Talks at Acas failed to resolve the dispute."
...Support staff union Unison steward Martin Clark said: "If the college merger is such a success, why are our members not being offered a proper pay award? Instead the college is talking about imposing this. "We want to get back round the table and talk with them, or we will have no option but to move towards a ballot for industrial action." Assistant branch secretary Scott Donohoe added: "We think there should be more money on the table. Staff have worked really hard. The principal said he is working to bring all staff along together in an inclusive and people-centred way. "If so, and if the merger is such a success, his workforce should be celebrating, not balloting. This can be sorted out by giving our members a fair pay rise.""
...He added: "The potential impact on engineering employees is not known, but discussions and consultation will be undertaken if required."
Unite regional officer Rick Coyle said: "The event on Saturday is designed to explain to the Burton public the true facts about this dispute which could see some workers lose up to £9,000 a year. "The brewery is a major employer in the region and should treat its workforce with fairness and respect." Talks with management are planned next week. "We are expecting the workforce to vote by a large majority for strike action," said Mr Coyle, "but we hope next week's negotiations with the company will result in a positive and constructive outcome.""
