McCrone Update 10 January 2001

MCCRONE AGREEMENT

Click here to see the Agreement reached following the recommendations made in the McCrone Report.   (Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to open this document). A personal copy will be sent this week to all members via their schools, or where applicable, to home addresses, as soon as possible.

The delay in the negotiating process has resulted in a different timescale being required for the Association's ballot.  Details on this will be known later this week.  Despite discussion in the media about an Agreement having been made, any such Agreement cannot exist unless and until all members have expressed their view in a ballot.

Any member who has still not notified a change of home address should contact the office immediately.
