discussion, the Major Projects

Agreement Forum have

endorsed an agreement

reached on 30 March 2005 by

Amicus and the employers at

the Heathrow Terminal 5

Programme which looks set

to settle the performance pay

dispute.

The agreement covers the

remaining period of the

construction programme until

2008 and provides for

increases in the Major Project

Performance Payment and

introduces a Supplementary

Project Performance Payment

within the Supplementary

Project Agreement for the

Terminal 5 Programme.

The previous claim for

compensation for travelling to

and from the Terminal 5 site

has been withdrawn by

Amicus.

Sir Michael Latham,

Chairman of the MPA Forum,

stated after the meeting: “I am

very pleased that the

parties have achieved

an agreement which

will provide a

platform for the

benefits of the MPA

to be maximised on

this vital project over

the next three years.

Whilst the resolution

of the issues

encompassed by this

agreement has not been easy,

the outcome reflects the

commitment of Amicus and

the employers to the

objectives of the MPA and to

the success of the Terminal 5

Programme on behalf of

BAA.”
