Striking delivery offices

Post by jockstrapp »

Would it not cause more disruption in offices if say a third of an office went out one day then a different third the next then the final third the next? Just wondering how that would work?

That sounds interesting..................But what's the betting that RM moron managers would discover a little-used law dating back to 1267 that would scupper that tactic?

It wouldn't work, under phase 3 or 4, they could move you to another walk. So, if your walk is easy, you;d be moved to a hard work. Its in your contract, needs of a business. So, probably mean the other half or third would go on strike. And the poor reserves would be up the greek. :crazy:

I am sorry to hear that in my office executive action is coming in a full revision will take place without CWU input . There is the loss of many jobs through EVR which staff want to go. they are walking all over us regardless of striking. I feel we are getting nowhere a lot of offices are now ignoring the strikes and working. I give up now.

Hmmm. That sounds like a management patsy stylee response to me.

:cfo & :mfo may reward you with a bonus but effectively your words are worth zilch.

OPG's are up for the fight, hate the management nonsense and will win. It's the Kafka-esque management which will lose out on this dispute.

We ran out of volunteers already. There were only half the number of volunteers that were required for the last batch of EVR. So how long do you think it'll be, before we start seeing Compulsary Redundancies? :hmmmm

Same in my office. Some people are sick of the way they are being treated
and have decided to take VR/EVR, but nowhere near the 250 that Management
want to get rid off, and it seems that compulsory transfers (but to where?) will
be what they will resort to. That is why we are taking IA.
