Jerry Hicks, John Rouse (T & G National Officer), John Wall (Chairman of the CSEU), Doug Collins (Deputy General Secretary Amicus), along with manual stewardsl, formed the union team.

As predicted, Rolls-Royce duly tabled a financial offer to Jerry as their way of settling the whole matter. The tawdry offer of £50,000 to Jerry was, quite rightly, rejected immediately and the company were told that the only acceptable offer was the unconditional reinstatement of Jerry Hicks.

At the same time, Rolls-Royce management were informed of 7 days notice for official strike action on the Test site at Bristol.

The meeting then came to a close. We await any further developments.

Please see attachment regarding the forthcoming rally in Bristol in support of Jerry.
