strike against Midlands closures?

[George door to dawes]

The london mail centre closures seem to be getting most of the press recently but there are also currently 3 m/c planned for closure in the Midlands. Would you strike against the midlands closures if we were given the chance to vote?

North East,Midlands,London...it's all the same problem.
The union agreed to this...

A mail centre and RDC rationalisation programme that provides a lean, fit-for–purpose, standardised and modern pipeline

This....

In view of the above, Royal Mail and the CWU recognise that a significant reduction in the current mail centre estate will result but the exact number and location will need detailed local examination in line with the framework agreement

And this....

6.11 Following the above decision being announced the CWU will accept the decision, jointly support the implementation and deal with the employee impact.

I would strike to keep any mailcentre open but someone once said "you can't defend bricks and mortar" so you can't strike against the closures as you have already agreed to them as long as the framework is followed.

That only leaves you with the treatment of those displaced to defend.
Is everyone who wants to stay being offered a reasonable alternative?

I ment no disrespect to you guys. The reason i only went for the midlands is was looking at starting a small campaign and trying to get a few people to talk to the midlands regional chairman if there was enough interest.

I dont know yet whether we would be able to strike over the closures so i guess my question is hypothetical. If Royal Mail can negate on blatant agreements for collegue shares for instance maybe there is some wiggle room in the review framework? World class mail was part of the agreement yet didnt cwu suspend thier support for it recently? I dont pretend to have any concrete answers just interested in if there would be support if there was a vote on strike action!
