The National Executive Committee has noted that these results have smashed through the thresholds imposed due to the anti-trade union laws. The NEC has thanked members for delivering an exceptional turnout - the highest in years - showing just how resolute they are in standing up for fair pay, a healthier work/life balance, and putting a stop to bosses enriching themselves at the expense of our members' relentless effort and dedication.

I am currently seeking an updated report from the Lead Officer and I will keep Branches advised of all further developments.
