Fish will a lighter do ? Look we will serve notice on Monday and this will be relayed via LTBs etc. Tuesday you will find out the timeline of the other ballot.
Aiden what more do you want to know , there is no deal and the strike is going ahead. The members voted on the basis that they will support strike action if there is no deal.

Re: Why are we going on Strike ?
We don't have to be specific on strike days until the legal requirement BUT it would be helpful if the members were warned what, if any, action will be taken on week 2, 3, 4 etc to give them the heads up for their finances - don't the members deserve to be kept informed and updated. It would also warn RM that we will keep going unless they make an acceptable offer. Perhaps announcing a march of epic proportions was a little bit premature.dingo wrote:Who says we will wait till the other ballots results are declared before the next strike ? We will not give more than 7 days legal notice to the employer why should we .
Any March in Westminster or the city is difficult to organise during weekdays , the one we done in London in 2009 took a fair time to agree. But I reckon a few surprises may occur on this day !!!!!
As for black powder demonstrations lets hope it all turns out not to be a damp squib.

I read it twice because I didn't understand the "I live for today, I have a 2 year plan" bit.Tman wrote:And to think I wasted precious time reading that self-centred nonsense...
I still don't but I'm not reading it a third time to see if I missed something obvious in his philosophy.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Re: Why are we going on Strike ?
If you're not in the union I don't understand why you think anyone could give a toss about your opinions. You're not involved.
