We met with management representatives 2 weeks ago. At that meeting management agreed to provide us with an offer on wages by close of business last Friday. We have now been told that we will get the offer by tomorrow. We are also scheduled to meet with management again on Thursday 12 November 2009 at Heidelberg when we will be letting management know that the continued delay and failure to bargain will generate its own response.

We remind the company of the resolution passed by members at Heidelberg in October:

This meeting condemns Dorevitch Pathology for its arrogance and dishonesty in breaking its undertaking to commence negotiations with the Union in December 2008. We call on the Company to immediately commence negotiations with us and to commit to matching public sector rates of pay at a minimum. We resolve that unless this occurs we will continue our campaign of industrial action.
