Depends.
"Where the union suspends industrial action for the purposes of negotiation with the employer, but then seeks to revive the action when negotiations break down, it is unclear under current legislation whether a fresh ballot would be required. However, in Monsanto plc v TGWU [1987] ICR 269, following a ballot, industrial action took place, but was postponed for ten days to allow negotiations to take place with a view to resolving the dispute. The negotiations were unsuccessful and the industrial action was revived. The employer successfully applied for an interlocutory injunction at the High Court, but this was lifted on appeal. The Court of Appeal held that the unions' action was 'not a discontinuance of the industrial action but a temporary suspension for the purposes of negotiation', and that if the negotiations failed and industrial action resumed, 'statute or good industrial relations [do not] require a further ballot at each stage'."

Typical CWU at the 11th hour no-one knows what we are doing, they have had all week to inform us but no that would be far to easy why not leave everyone hanging and wondering what too do.

Who's with me?
:mfo :cfo :lfo
i just said to the wife if we get shaffted,then i will be pulling out of the CWU.however at this stage it is to early to tell........
They most know the strength of feeling, the fact the strikes have been fairly full strength..the deal will have to be good to lose that strength and support, they know about the dangers of stopping the memento..I am worried
If we get shaffted again ( did i say if ?? ) sorry when we get shaffted again rather than leave the union we should just get rid of the those who signed the deal ON OUR BEHALF so lets get rid of the leaders !!
