Unite national officer to address Lindsey workers
22 June 2009
Tom Hardacre, national officer for Unite, the biggest union in
construction, will address workers at the Lindsey Oil refinery
tomorrow morning (23rd June) at an official demonstration.
Unite's national officer, Tom Hardacre said: "The outrageous
sacking of workers at Lindsey is one the most aggressive acts I've
witnessed as a trade union official. Even some of the employers at
Lindsey did not want to issue the letters to the workers but were
forced to do so.
"Last week we were attempting to broker a deal to get a
resolution to the unofficial dispute but Total have allowed the
dispute to escalate without any strategy to resolve the
problems.
"Unite is available to join the employers at the table to
develop a sensible resolution and we call upon the employers for a
positive response."
