Resources Recovery Board – unofficial dispute. Statement.
The President of the Resources Recovery Board made a statement in the following terms –
"For some three weeks there has been an unofficial withdrawal of emergency standby and overtime by the Board's Manual Worker staff because it is claimed by the Transport and General Workers' Union that the removal from the standby roster of an electrical technician amounts to victimisation.
Following an accident in the Board's Power Station in May in which an electrician was injured, the Board was advised that in the interests of his own safety and that of his working colleagues, the person concerned should work in the electrical engineering workshop where the opportunity for maximum supervision exists. He was also withdrawn from standby duties which would have involved him working on his own on potentially dangerous equipment out of normal working hours.
I have said on previous occasions, the Board will not enter into discussions with the T. and G.W.U. while unofficial industrial action is taking place. There is an established and laid-down procedure to be adopted when there is disagreement between Management and the Workforce, but yet again this procedure is being ignored.
To date the operations of the Board in dealing with the disposal of the Island's wastes has carried on with only the minimum of interruption.
In the near future it will be necessary to make minor alterations to the normal work pattern in the Board's operational plant in order to ensure the continuous operation of that plant.
The Board regrets that it has had to withdraw the waste disposal facilities which it normally offers at weekends and hopes that the industrial action which is taking place will not further curtail the services which the Board provides."

The Committee rose at 4.40 p.m.
R.S. GRAY, Deputy Greffier of the States.
