Corus Community Issue 3 2008

Community National Officer Roy RickhussWelcome to the third issue of Corus Community.

This newsletter arrives shortly after the announcement that Corus are reducing production.

This announcement came during a busy period as Community and Corus have begun negotiating the ongoing issues that have come out of pay negotiations.

Issues such as the upcoming review for D/E management as well as for the F/J staff. Members may consider these reviews to be overdue as these agreements were introduced nearly 10 years ago.

The 3 year pensions review will also begin shortly. Community is also preparing to discuss the harmonisation of the terms and conditions which were raised during this year’s pay negotiations.

Community has been laying the ground work for these discussions and negotiations that are to come.

This demonstrates the importance of collective solidarity between the union

and its members not just during wage negotiations, but throughout the year.

Community will continue to represent your interests but we are strongest when we have the vocal support of our members.

Roy Rickhuss
National Officer
