Urgent CWU members meeting today at 1pm:CWU Withdraws Strike Action for Next Two Weeks

[neviboss]

So, we've let them off with Black Friday & Cyber Monday?

[walthmstowman]

So, we've let them off with Black Friday & Cyber Monday?

No , I don’t think so. Unless we reach an agreement those two strike dates are still very much on.

[aiden01]

I would go for all out from 16th to 20th November for starters.

Most people are at breaking point an you want a weeks strike not going to happen

[hans solo]

Quite simple
Everyone now has no loss of pay for 2 weeks also full pay from last week
Let’s not do them any favours or overtime next 2 weeks
The Cwu do not need to implement this it’s down to each individual
Let’s see if you really want to take on Simon

[steve1873]

Well take from that what you will talks will go to the 9th of November so two weeks notice would be new action on the 25th of November or after but don't forget we Have the 12th and 14th of november beforehand!

So at least another 11days without any action pathetic

All momentum lost

This is probably a stupid question, but if the rolling strikes were cancelled on a technicality, what's to stop the union fixing the technicality and announcing rolling strikes in December?

From what I understand RM want exact numbers of who is off and where and apparently that's difficult to say.

But then haven't rolling strikes been conducted before in RM, unless the laws have changed since.

Its not that RM want exact numbers, the law requires you to tell them.

This is anti union legislation, if you vote tory you are partly to blame, unfortunately a change of government won't change any of these laws. Blair could have done away with the lot and didn't.

You cannot blame RM for using the law against us, if our legally binding agreements were worth a wank we wouldn't be in this mess and the Union would have used to law against RM.

[smartin1982]

So the two additional days were announced because they got the letter and they knew they’d f****d up. Nothing to do with the talks and anything else “becoming apparent” during the talk.
Pathetic.

I still have no idea why this couldn’t have waited until tomorrow either.
Pullinger vanishes, strikes are now cancelled because of technical errors , ‘urgent’ meetings that are only going to piss people off on a Sunday…

Totally agree, inept idiots ruining my Sunday

Ruining your Sunday?
Simon's trying to ruin your job.

Yes , we’d noticed, and we have to deal with that 6 days a week. Sunday is one day we should all be relaxing , taking time for ourselves and forgetting about it until tomorrow.
Not being interrupted with things that could easily have waited.

I would assume CWU wanted to give people notice straight away as the next strike is this Friday.

if the union hadnt let everyone know straight away there would have been an outrage.people moan on here all the time there not being updated.ffs you cant win...

Nonsense.
If theyd have come out tomorrow morning and said “we knew yesterday but didn’t want to disrupt your Sunday “ people would have appreciated that and maybe been a bit more accepting.
They didn’t.
They interrupted peoples Sunday , which would have already had people in the wrong mindset, then proceeded to tell them they’d f****d up. That’s only going to go one way. People being even angrier than they might have been in a week day.
I can’t for the life of me think why anyone would think that was a good idea.
There’s way too much here for me that doesn’t make any sense at all.

Aaahhhhh diddums…….they interrupted your Sunday. WTF did you sit down and watch it for if you were that busy, you could have caught up on it at anytime. Jeez some of you love making a mountain out of a molehill.

Oh Do f**k off .
If you’re emailed there’s an emergency announcement then of course you’re going to watch it .
You know it’s the 21st century and wherever you are you can watch these things?

TIME IS RUNNING OUT
We've got less than 2 months to get a deal

you dont have to do overtime as the company has stopped it anyway , so its finish time and home , our office is a bomb site with the amount of dutys failing so f**k them .

[zz666]

Not doing overtime cannot be construed as being industrial action, because as pointed out by the employer, it is to save the company from financial ruin.

[Woody Guthrie]

They interrupted peoples Sunday...

They put a post on various social media platforms and invited people to watch an update if they wanted.

They didn't take over Sky Sports in the middle of the game.
They didn't gatecrash your local pub.
Andy Furey didn't pop up from under the duvet while you and your partner were having your Sunday funday.

Sense of perspective please.

[sledger]

no agreement in the next 2 weeks then announce all out strike,no problem with numbers then.We all need to grow a pair or just give up on what was once a good job and company to work for.

Hope this works? Labour will get rid of anti trade union legislation. Bottom of page 10 if you can't be arsed reading all of it.

It's what the law requires not what RM want. Do you think the CWU are doing something just because RM want it? Outmanoeuvred again.....
