Unions and DVSA to resume talks in new year

Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE) has said it is “disappointed” with union action over plans for compulsory redundancies at its Wakefield manufacturing plant as it is doing all it can to minimise the need for such cuts.

The DVSA has appointed Becky Thomas as the new director of strategy and policy.

The Royal Mail board has approved the agreement broached with the Communication Workers Union to end a long-running battle over pay and pension reform.
