I've just heard on the news that they are only talking by phone and email now. The news also said that we should hear if strikes on/off around 2pm.
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

They better be on - RM have basically laughed off our peace deal and leaked documents prove how much respect they have for us and the union, strike, strike, strike! :cfo :mfo

If the strikes were to be called of do not assume we have been sold out, untill you have seen and digested the reasons for it.

If RM can come up with something decent why is calling off stikes wrong?

The whole point of strike action is to help get a deal is it not?

We were sold out in 2007 and that is why we are in this situation now,talks at this stage without acas..implies a big sell out to me if that were the case
