Talks to continue in ASTI pay row today

Efforts will continue today in a search for a solution to the ASTI pay dispute.

Both sides are expected to table proposals to set up a forum to deal with the 30% pay claim.

The union's central executive will meet at the weekend to consider what progress has been made and to decide whether or not to extend the suspension of rolling strike action.

General secretary, Charlie Lennon, said it was important to have deadlines in order to focus minds on resolving the problem.
