Any ideas on when the next strike is going to be?

[loowhfd]

Anyone heard any rumours or anything off your reps as to when we are next out?

Relax loowhfd,no one knows yet,Dave and the boys will meet tomorrow to discuss.Billy said the union are giving Royal Mail untill Friday to get back round the table and sort out a deal.I think this is going to go on for a bit yet mate.

Oh I am relaxed and ready to stand on the picket line for as long as it takes, just think it might be a bit more interesting especially within our office with several saying they can only afford to support the cwu for the one strike!
:cfo :lfo

I dont see how the 1 day strikes are affecting R M that much!!! We need something more consecutive.. not a friday in sat and off monday, we need days 2gether or even a week!!!That wud sort em out!!!

[johnnyp]

I agree to an extent madelin4,BUT are the membership up for it ?In my own office 1 days are fine but when you start talking all out people dont seem as up for them,its a tricky one to call,but if nothing changes we might not have any choice.

Actually having been back for the first time since the strike the Managers are all running round like headless chickens so I think it is working at least we are putting pressure back on them and hopefully its going in an upward direction.

So, with the notice period required to stay within the law, that means the next one won't be until Friday the 13th at the very earliest.

Personally, I think if a one-day strike doesn't get RM back into proper discussions, the CWU should go for Monday AND Tuesday 16th/17th. The implied warning being that if you (RM, that is) don't talk to us seriously, the next one will be for three days, the one after for four.

We could always call the action off at the last possible moment, and screw RM when we all walk in and do a normal day at worst, or have an easy day because in blind panic they've pushed a lot of the work through the system the previous week to mitigate the effects of the planned strike

Post Office had a strike today (06:00 until 12:00).

Nothing has been said about the next strike dates for everyone else yet.

12th & 13th are holidays here so it would suit me if it was the 14th (a Saturday on the picket line) then really screw them the following week.

[lovejoy]

Given what the CWU have said to members it is highly unlikely they will call any 3 or 4 days stoppages!!!

I think maybe Processing Friday, Delivery Saturday, Distribution Monday is an option. If not all out Friday and Monday
