Another Workplace onsite ballot eh?
What's this? Was this mentioned in the live FB thingy? I didn't watch it.
Yes a workplace ballot, they want to talk to us to find out what we want.

Also another ballot, a Vote of no confidence in the CEO.

I agree tonight was a shitshow.

Not the strategy necessarily.

But their communication skills are abysmal. No-one actually knows what dates we're striking now. How hard is it to read out a bloody list?
24th, 25th and 30th of November and the 2nd of December!

Everything else cancelled.

They have a mandate for strikes for a no strings pay rise, there is no consultation needed. Not that we are getting a no strings pay rise now or ever.

At no point have they said that everything else is cancelled.

They previously cancelled the functional strikes, they have now cancelled the 12th and 14th so everything else is cancelled. Show me where I am wrong.

Will it be anything like the ballot we had (which was done on the unions branch Facebook group) for the average holiday pay farce?

We had a Facebook poll for 24 hours, about 17 voted, the result was overwhelmingly no (not that it made a difference to the end result).
The day is gonna come when we’re all gonna have to testify.

Is a "workplace ballot" just a show of hands after a local office meeting, or a secret ballot with ballot papers cast in a ballot box in person after such a meeting? Or something else. Presumably not a postal ballot or online ballot?

It's unofficial so any result is meaningless

RM Communication is as poor as the CWU’s.
04:00 Day A to 04:00 Day C actually means all shifts are on strike on Day A and Day B. They are not on strike on Day C, which some oik who posted on RM Communications account also failed to understand!!
