So you mean a 2 day strike for everyone in 2 consecutive weeks? That seems a long way off if, as the union said, they`d announce something by end of week and I worry about the waverers (yep sure there`ll still be a few).
Surely better to announce rolling strikes beginning at the end of next week.see how that goes and keep 2 dayers on hold perhaps to kick in at the end of rolling action.

Agree,

I think the 2 dayers will put a lot of people off coming back out on strike, union haven`t been relaying enough info directly to members homes etc for them to be fully aware of EVERYTHING and how serious some of the s**t is.

I`m a sub rep and if it wasn`t for this place I would have been in the dark as much as the next person to what is going on either in the union, RM or the rest of the country, and the things that have been going on (watford, oxford etc) thye members should have got to know directly from the union and for the union to really bring these examples to the forefront to do some serious RM bashing :lfo :cfo and bring back the strike breakers back into the action...
TOTALLY TOTALLY DISAGREE MATE.Most in are office say onedayers waste of time. Backlog cleared within two days.Nothing gained. All out :dance
