- Description: ON May 14, a dispute was declared with SEIFSA, the engineering bosses, because no progress had been made in negotiations. As you can see from the table over the page, there is hardly any progress in NUMSA’s other sectors either. Motor employers didn’t even respond to NUMSA’s demands - they just came with their own demands! On May 24 a special NUMSA Bargaining Unit Workshop will take place. This is to get reports from regions and to give NUMSA’s bargaining reps a mandate to go to the SEIFSA dispute meeting on May 26. Make sure you get a report about these meetings and make sure you and your shop steward attend all report back meetings in your region and locals. If you want to win your demands you must decide what action you will take! Comrades, we have to ask ourselves - Why is there such a deadlock between the bosses and ourselves?
