5.1. The parties acknowledge that the spread of COVID-19 has thrown the Council's normal substantive negotiations processes into disarray, through no fault of either employers or the trade union.

 

5.2. The parties accordingly agree to postpone the commencement of the 2020 round of substantive bargaining to a future date to be agreed between the parties and confirm that any agreement reached when the 2020 round of bargaining is eventually concluded shall be backdated to 1st September 2020.
