Hi Paul,
I was pleased to see your comment yesterday that Tranzit Group remains open to discussing a possible collective agreement for Tramways Union members employed by Tranzurban.
With that in mind I formally invite you to meet with us this Friday 27th July at 10.00am at Trades Hall 126 Vivian Street, to commence bargaining.
We look forward to see you then.
Cheers.
