WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND RESOURCES BY DEPUTY G.P. SOUTHERN OF ST. HELIER

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 14th APRIL 2015

Question

Will the Minister inform members what resolution, if any, has been agreed between JT/GFF and the 12 members of their workforce over the Gigabit dispute and in particular whether the Minister, as shareholder representative, is satisfied that the terms of any agreement between the parties is just and fair?

Answer

The Minister understands that all outstanding employment issues with GFF have now been resolved to the satisfaction of all parties, with the exception of one employee whose legal representative has asked that matters are placed on hold while that individual deals with some extremely difficult and personal circumstances.

Members will be aware that details of any resolutions are covered by normal principles of confidentiality. The Minister is therefore not in a position to say whether he is satisfied that terms agreed are just and fair. However it is widely known that Trade Unions and/or legal advisors have represented the individuals concerned and the Minister places reliance on this fact.
