one of the many DOMs we've had at my office took the wally weeks off the managers as they abused the system, I think he gave them about 2 months notice
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

We were given a letter from our Dom saying he was giving us 28 days notice and reverting us from a 4 back to a 5 day week and all our S/A was removed :sad: Executive action was used and we like all of London have been on strike since June.

As i recall every office was asked to join london and scotland and hold their own ballots as rm had walked away from the 2007 agreement and imposed IA in many offices, in the end almost 500 offices have taken action but as you said Its gone nationwide and there may be some light at the end of the tunnel
