Talks fail to get underway at Lindsey

18 June 2009

Unite's Assistant General Secretary, Les Bayliss said: "Unite and ACAS made themselves available to meet with the employer at Lindsey with a view to getting a resolution to the problems at the refinery. The employers decided to refuse to talk to ACAS and the unions until after next Monday. This is yet another subversive manoeuvre, displaying a complete lack of diplomacy. Unite remains ready and willing to assist in finding a way through the problems arising from the unofficial dispute. We are urging Total to do the same."
