3% deduction per strike day, then tax off that doesn't leave much of the £100! Didn't mention deductions from 2nd £100 though
Only the supplement is subject to abatement.
Not the underpin payment.

Surprised ST's not threatening to take it off us for all being Naughty.
Her can't. Both payments are contractual.
So is sick pay.
So are enhanced VR payments.
I kind of agree with you to an extent but also the last six months has kind of undermined the whole "contractual" thing.

Glad to see you back posting

What’s your thoughts on the current situation Woody?
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

Just to cheese everybody off, you would need around £112 to match the purchasing
power of last year's £100 (not that you get 100 after tax, pro rata etc.)

What's the process for refusing the deplorable reduced payment? And basically telling them to go f*ck themselves.

You could take the money and give to your Favourite Charity. That'd probably be better. ST doesn't give a Shite wether you take it or not. If you don't he's saved some money. :hmmmm

We had similiar questions when we were given Free Shares, some people actually refused them. I admire their principles, but they could have sold them and given that money to Charity as well? :cuppa

I’ll send you my PayPal address and you can send it my way if you don’t want it. What a bizarre comment.

Understand your sentiments, but if you can afford it why not a fraction of it to one of the
many charities supporting those suffering hardship e.g local food bank, Crisis, Children In Need, many
others to choose from. Gift Aid it too. CWU have actually got a strike fund you can contribute too as well (linked
on the CWU Twitter page). Don't give it back to the blood suckers!

I’m not sure which is more strange, that you would turn down money that you have been accepting for however many years you have been doing the job, or that you didn’t expect the bonus to be deducted because you haven’t worked all of December. If you had any principles, you would also turn down your weekly wage, during a strike week using your own logic.

You're reading too much into it Lou - let it go. They're just expressing their frustrations at the current situation. We don't
need to send another thread off on a tangent.
