If you don't want to strike fair enough, that's for your own conscience to deal with but don't come on here trying to convince others to do the same just to make you feel better about your decision. That's kinda sad.
You misunderstand, I don't think we will ever see a strike for the reasons I stated. But I fully support a strike and the union.
It makes no odds to me if we went on strike, I have money saved away. But for those that are in a different predicament striking must be an absolute last resort, like if people are going to be made redundant.
There's always those that come along to bleat about how we can't afford to strike.
To be honest if you feel that way then you kind of lose the right to moan about anything from pay to delivery spans to average pay on holiday to the treatment of reserves and part-timers because you've basically said the business can do whatever it likes and we should just sit back and accept it
That's unfortunately where you are without the threat of industrial action, sitting in a negotiating room with no bargaining power whatsoever hoping for crumbs.
I'd rather go find another job than watch this one deteriorate while we sit there wringing our hands worrying what the customers might think.

Well said. If the union membership vote in favour of striking I will be no matter how much i can't afford to. Anyone in the union who doesn't strike if it's voted for should leave the union
I bet youd bend first if it meant you defaulting on your mortgage, having your gas and electricity switched off and your kids going hungry.
How long would you strike for if requred? A day? A week? A whole month without any money?

But were you not advocating losing the first 3 days of sick pay? Those struggling and living hand to mouth (especially those on the lower hour contracts) who have to take time off due to illness would really be on the breadline.
The day is gonna come when we’re all gonna have to testify.

Simple you have a choice not to strike, you dont have a choice if your ill and like many other industries you still go in if you ill if you need to get paid. I did it pre my royal days. No one is off 'sick' if you dont get paid believe me.
