CWU Strike pay?

Got a question for a CWU Rep? And all CWU related matters.

Perhaps we don't have the right to judge people who go in on strike days as long as that person understands that fellow workers attitude towards that person will change, that's not a threat its human nature, we are all low paid workers, we all struggle and I guess that most people at some point in their lives have struggled hard financially so I don't have sympathy for anyone who goes into work to me its a betrayal of the people you work with, these same people still get the same rewards of any better deal and yet they are not prepared to make any sacrifices to get them.

I've seen this dispute coming for months. I think most of us have. Each to their own but I have saved up and made a few sacrifices accordingly so I won't be out of pocket come strike time.

Better to be in a job and fighting for it than to have no job/income at all. Feel sorry for the lad with the long term health issues, and hope he gets sorted, but the true meaning of skint is when you are on JSA, which is where RM would like a lot of us to be.

Do the union reps for each office also lose pay on the strike days?
