After 12 weeks, you can be dismissed if you take industrial action and your employer has tried to settle the dispute. For example, your employer may bring in advisers from Acas to help find a solution.

You continue with this tripe. You really believe that RM could simply dismiss 115,000 employees and still have a business to run?

[redlen]

That Tripe as you put it is Primary Legislation.

And personally have never stated dismissing 115,000 workers, so kindly stop putting words into my mouth

It doesn't say you have to legally re-ballot after 12 weeks does it , you need to re-ballot every 6 months to keep the ballot legal

It is three months not six if ACAS have been involved if you want to continue strike action as the legal protections end

If we balloted tomorrow all the crap that zareena brown and simon thompson and rishi sunak came out with today we would get 99% biggest recruiting sergeants our union has ever had!

[redlen]

That might be so but will still take six weeks before you can strike again

Akin to protestors saying 'they can't arrest us all'. They'll just get their 10% reduction from random dismissals. Fear of god stuff.

[DirtyHarry]

Thompson's a moron.

They could do an Asda, a few years back they gave all their staff new contracts, sign here or we will accept that as your resignation. You may not like it but the law is on their side here. They have tried (insincerely) to try and end this dispute. I have no idea what they will do 12 weeks in. The union have acknowledged this and stated legal advice will be taken before the date this could become a reality. ST has shown, he will do what he wants when he wants and to hell with the union. I wouldn't put anything past him.

Also the Asda fire and rehire amounted to about 300 people , it wouldn’t be that here.

Tesco, British Gas as well as P&O have all sucessfully used it once they justified the economic survival of the business was at stake.

Simon Thompson continually saying losing a million a day are not just soundbites but carefully worded
