MUT to declare trade dispute if certain issues not resolved
The MUT wrote to the Principal and CEO at MCAST to note that although the summer recess at MCAST is well over, the recognition exercise of technician grades at MCAST and the resolution of the conflicting clauses for promotion to Senior Lecturer grades are still unresolved. The Union stated that in this light the MUT would like to make it clear that unless both these issues make substantial progress by Thursday 22nd September the Union will be declaring a trade dispute with immediate effect on Friday 23rd and advising industrial directives to members accordingly.
