TRADE UNION RECOGNITION AT MORGAN GRAMPIAN PLC

That this House notes that Morgan Grampian plc has a long history of good relations with the NUJ and GPMU; acknowledges the co-operation of the trades unions in enabling the company to reach sound agreements on the utilisation of new technology in advance of other major magazine publishers; deplores the recent decision by the company to terminate the house agreement which both unions held with the company and the withdrawal of formal recognition; is concerned that the local management has refused to meet the unions to discuss the issue; calls upon Lord Stevens, Chairman of United Newspapers, to meet John Foster and Tony Dubbins, general secretaries, respectively, of the NUJ and GPMU; and expresses its support for both chapels at Morgan Grampian in the present dispute.
