Royal Mail got what they wanted from the strikes, the excuse to abandon the Agenda for Growth agreement. Now they've got that that they bring out the lawyers to call off any future strikes.

CWU say we now have a chance to refocus over the next 2 weeks.

I'm sure RM will be nice about that.

When doing functional strikes you need to give notice of how many people for each function are striking and when

Its easy when everyone is out as its everyone

Furey says its impossible to get it right so if thats the case then does that mean its impossible to ever do rolling strike action? They obviously knew that
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

Guess this explains why we suddenly got more 'all out' strike days out of nowhere - CWU got the letter, realised rolling strikes were f****d and had to give notice as soon as possible to get some strikes in.

f***ing amateurs as always, you'd think they'd take the time to hire some half decent solicitors out of all the money we're giving them.

Good luck with those. I can’t see there being the support for them now. The union f****d it again.

The strike dates announced very hastily for the 12th and 14th make sense now.

It's just the function-specific strikes that they''ve f*cked up.

All-out straikes are fine.
