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
Well he does have a habit of losing money wherever he goes like £37 billion or £760 million??????

Maybe it suits the narrative we need change? But he said on video today they invested £900 million is this offset or on the books?

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.


https://www.gov.uk/industrial-action-st ... ial-action
You continue with this tripe. You really believe that RM could simply dismiss 115,000 employees and still have a business to run?
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.
Then do it , I’ll see them in a tribunal.
Good luck, you'll need it if he does that.

I find it worrying how the CEO of a company, he claims is losing millions of pounds a day, has so much time to post petty comments on workplace but can't be bothered to turn up to meetings and talk with the CWU to sort out the mess that RM is in, mess that he's created. Everyone should come off Workplace. Don't give him a platform.

Because he knows how to wind people up, look at the reaction and insults, all playing into his hands. 12 weeks is almost up, who knows what will happen after 12 weeks. He has played the CWU big time, the ballot to allow him to tear up our agreement and running down the clock until christmas. The same people always say, we have to strike at christmas, well here we are and now Dave Ward is talking about still striking next christmas. I have no idea how this will end, I want out now, sick of the whole damn thing.

Sure you will big boy, he has the law of the land on his side, if he does that you can be sure the RM legal people will have that bang to rights unlike our own mickey mouse legal bods. The law is stacked against us, you do listen to Dave Ward when he talks about that anti union legislation we are constantly up against?

The CWU have a legal team, right?? Can't understand why they're not dealing with this 12-week issue. People on their Facebook page have been commenting on it for a while now, no answer yet. I support them in the strikes, but it would be helpful to know what is going to happen as it's only a few weeks away, and I need to know where I stand legally.

Northampton Mail Centre is an illusion as it deals with thousands of mail order returns with NDC.

Not to mention the majority will be outward mail that will take little time to sort throgh the PSM.
