A further meeting to discuss the principles of the changes will occur on 29th June, in order to give Company Council a chance to get a general idea of the reaction from the staff concerned. Company Council reps will be visiting the affected stations on Monday 14th, Tuesday 15th and Wednesday 16th to collect information from the staff concerned. It is envisaged that the timescales involved are as follows... Consultation with Trade Unions... June 2010 Preparation of revised Rosters... June 2010 Discussions with LDC (revised working arrangements including rosters)... June/July 2010 New Rosters implemented... July 2010

We will, of course oppose these unnecessary cuts all the way
