Why was there another extraordinary general meeting on 12 October?
A second section 114 notice was triggered by the issuing of a section 5 report on 21 September 2023.
These notices have been issued because we have not been able to agree on a new process for job evaluations.
An emergency council meeting took place within 21 days of these notices being issued.
