Sian McClarence, <strong>GMB</strong> Regional officer, said "In the first talks yesterday since January ISS<br />
refused to negotiate in any way and showed no interest or willingness to avert a strike. ISS<br />
adopted exactly the same position they have throughout of refusing to negotiate on any<br />
point at all.<br />
They were clearly 'going through the motions' and are more interested in bussing strike<br />
breakers 400 miles from Leuchars in Scotland with the offer of 3 days pay than in meaningful<br />
talks to resolve a situation of their own making.<br />
Mike McCartney, Unite National officer said " The irony of offering <strong>RAF</strong> staff <strong>£15</strong> an hour to<br />
cover ISS staff paid less than half that amount and who are in dispute over an 8p pay offer<br />
suggests a naivety bordering on the stupid.<br />
ISS seem more intent on strike breaking than dispute resolution. <strong>GMB</strong> and Unite are calling<br />
for the Minister of State for the Armed Forces Andrew Robathan, the MP for South<br />
Leicestershire to intervene."<br />
