All out on Fri and Mon ? None of this staggered crap, i hope. Well played CWU - I'm happy to sacrifice my pay and live like a hermit for a few weeks if it gets rid of Crozier, Higson and all the bad apples running RM to disaster.

It is the cummulative affect that is the issue.
For many of us last week was by no means our first strike day.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Just saying we will most probably lose 2 days pay every week now, thats the escalation.

Yes it is, however I consider serious escalation to be all out, that way I reckon it would take a week tops :cool
