Sugestions for next wave of I.A>

Post by deadbox »

Whould it be possible to strike for a couple of hours ,say 3 days a week

eg.

Start 04.30, work until 09.30 - STRIKE until 11.30, re-start work and then cut off at the propper finishing time ( No Extended )

Do this MON , WED , FRI week 1---then TUE , THUR , SAT week 2

Will lose 6 hours pay ( thus keeping more members strong by removing the worry some have about losing too much money )

Would this be a good way to F88k RM up ? ( Undelivered mail pileing up daily )

Counters I believe are doing this, and it is popular with the staff

How would this work in other areas eg. Mail centres / MDEC / DIST. etc

More suggestions ~ comments please
I was sure I'd seen a bead of sweat on my line manager the other day - Until I realised that he had just brushed past me too close

Good idea, but i thought we all started at five am :roll: I think we should just let CWU guide us on what to do next,as this latest action seems to be doing some hurt :nana at last.I personnally would opt for an all out strike (my opinion) and get it over with? Non of this pussyfooting around. Every person i meet on duty is confused as to what is going on now?

My duty starts at 10.30 ends at 18.30, I would only lose an hour a day, not fair on my fellow comrades. Oops was that a swear word.

Would this work...

If Mail centres ect went out (2 hours at the end of their duty ) on opposite days to deliverys who did the same 2 hours at the end of their duty, would that disrupt everything ?

As we don't have a mandate to work to rule, this would be the next best thing......

Or have I got it wrong ?
