Time Strike can be called off

Post by barkersboy »

Anyone know the latest time the strikes can be called off? Is there a legal limit?

I'd say no because if we wanted we could all just go into work and there's nothing they could do about it.

PS. It would be good communication if the union told us before hand that they where off to prevent any problems with people not going in etc.

I dont know about a legal limit but It would be practically impossible to call off this weeks action the day before it begins. What they could do, however, is not serve the statutory seven days notice for next weeks action.

Not without a mandate for furtheir action if neede without having another ballet, you can see Royal Mail just saying enough of what we want to here only to steam roller it back asap when the backlog is clear and christmas has gone. Lets not go down that road, show them we are in it maybe not to win it but to get out of it what is fair...
