The London Borough of Walford is actually Elstree - North of London
18 August 2010
Talks are to resume with Studios and Post Production management in an effort to resolve the dispute which led to strike action on EastEnders on 12 August 2010.
Union members at Elstree gave overwhelming support yesterday (17 August) to a proposal to allow talks with management to resume. The talks will aim to reach agreement on a lump sum payment for staff who lose money due to the change in base from Television Centre to Elstree.
As a result, Helen Ryan, supervisory official, wrote to all members yesterday:
"I am writing to advise you that S&PP management have agreed to this proposal and we are therefore suspending all industrial action with immediate effect to enable us to consult our members on the offer.
"For clarity this [the suspension of action] includes the proposed continuous strike action, action short of strike action and the discontinuous strike action."
More details and a consultative ballot paper will be circulated to members shortly.
Strike action took place last Thursday 12 August.
