Union talks
« Libya | Back to most recent briefing | China »
Asked how the talks with union leaders were going, the PMS said he was unable to provide a readout as the meeting was ongoing.
Asked whether the Government was coming to the table with any concessions, the PMS said these were talks about the issues. He added that at some point there would be detailed negotiations about pensions.
Asked if today’s talks were time limited, the PMS said the talks weren’t of that nature and another meeting was scheduled for July.
Asked to respond to comments made by an unidentified union leader who was reported to have said that it would be dangerous to allow parents to fill gaps in school if teachers go on strike, the PMS said Michael Gove had sent a letter to schools encouraging them to put in place arrangements to ensure they remained open if possible, but it was down to individual schools to make a judgement call on how best to do that. He added that the letter had suggested schools drew on the wider group of people involved in schools, which included parents.
