Can anyone from the union give advice on the rumor going round that RM will take all 4 days strike money out of a weeks pay???
Has anybody spoke to management about this,,,surely it's not legal..????

I spoke to my area rep yesterday on the picket line and he told us that he had been told from a senior rep that we do not work a week in hand so we received a full weeks wages last week. Had the 48 hours took place on Mon-Tues we would have been stopped 2 days pay last week. Therefore they have told him they will take the full 4 days this week.

He is a good bloke and usually what he says is pretty accurate so i am sorry if this is not what you wanted to hear but thats what we were told yesterday. The one thing i dissagree with him though is them bas****s were always going to try and take the lot in one hit regardless of when the strikes took place.

I do agree with him when he says they are desperate men doing desperate things because they know support was still brilliant despite losing 4 days pay and laural and hardy were depending on us cracking. F**k them stay strong and lets win this thing.

Surely this effects our civil liberties, the basic right to strike. Is this legal?

If this happens it just is not on!
Can the top brass at CWU get involved on this and bring it to the medias attention asap?

SPITE SPITE SPITE

Spoilt little children do this when they are not getting what they want.
This is just petty. They're losing the battle.

KEEP UP THE GOOD FIGHT.

This proves that we're winning!
