Following workshop sessions to review the recent National Delegate Conference, the NEC received a comprehensive presentation on the ongoing negotiations on public sector pensions.
Simplistic demands for UNISON to unilaterally 'name a date' or even more ludicrously agree a 'shortlist' of dates for industrial action attracted negligible support.
As tomorrow's mistimed and futile ultra left lobby of the NEC in support of this position shows - the lobby being held the day after pensions has been debated as per the agenda! - when you name a date for any action you've got to get the timing right.
