The ballot runs until 17th Feb so we can strike up until then.

My guess is the union will give it a few weeks, let people rebuild their bank balances a bit, then go again in January if the company are still refusing to negotiate.

But who knows. Personally I'd like to see some dates immediately after Christmas too.

Simon won't budge or negotiate.
New tactics needed it's not like the old days them in charge don't care ,a 53 per cent drop in share price and their message is the same .we need to minimise the loss of pay yet give the maximum disruption .I would go down the mental route harassment bullying and take them to court .
A week long strike would make everyone see how much we are needed maybe make the government intervene and St would be under emence pressure.

They went too lightly in these next 2 weeks. Should have done 3 days strike per week minimum. We’re f****d. They’re doing anything they want now ie removing sick pay.

Exactly, looked what happened when the CWU messed up the rolling strikes. It gave them time to catch up and we were back where we started.

I think the timing of the bad weather has just aided the IA no end. Our office is in a mess I have never seen before and it is only going to get worse from tomorrow

Yeah because it’s working a treat isn’t it , we are as far away from an agreement as we were at the start , the strikes aren’t working, pointless announcing more right now .The CWU need to reflect and look at new tactics, people are drifting back to work whether we like it or not and I’m not one of them by the way.

Where's the new strike dates for after Christmas? Haven't the CWU got until tomorrow to notify RM about them? Or are they taking they're foot off the gas? Surely it would be best to keep the pressure on?

not the answer why ? , it would be pointless to finish any i/a on the 24th Dec when we have live ballots till Jan 13th or whatever it is , as we would clear the back log by time the new ballot would kick in and thompson would put his finger up at us , and in the new ballot they could inc a work to rule which would f**k them even more , but we need to keep the pressure on before this .

They don’t care about backlogs they have already seen off Black Friday, cyber Monday and are prepared to see out Xmas , they are also in it for the long game and we’ve been striking since September, don’t tell me it’s working because it isn’t.
