TUI will vote against the proposed “Public Service Agreement” at the Public Services Committee of ICTU meeting tomorrow, 15th June. This is in accordance with the mandate received from the members where a 3:1 majority for a “NO” vote was received with 73% of the members actually voting. If, as is expected, the Public Services Committee of Congress decides to endorse the agreement this position will be considered by the Executive Committee of TUI meeting on 24th June. At this meeting TUI will decide its ongoing position with regard to the proposed agreement. TUI has always said and reiterates that it will not be bound by an overall agreement of this nature which contains conditions of service elements for members of the Union. It is the TUI view that conditions of service should be voted on exclusively by members of the Union concerned in an agreement of this nature.
