lets get this right rm have in a nutshell said they are going to do what they want to, whenever they want too,and to whoever they want to, and now they want to talk about it after having killed off the last set of talks
am i missing something here or what

I agree with the majority of comments. By all means talk, but announce strike dates to keep in reserve along with the seven days notice. It give us a bargaining chip but sends a clear message to RM bosses that if they don't come up with a serious offer, then they give us no alternative but to head back to the picket lines!

The question that is going through my mind is have RML been leant on and that is the reason for them asking for more talks?

Yes we are willing to talk again, but while the talks are ongoing WE WILL SET STRIKE DATES AND WE WILL WALK OUT ON THOSE DATES.

Do :lfo & :cfo honestly think they can keep playing the same card "oh can we please start talks again" and expect us to continue working while they implement changes and have no intention of ever negotiating with the union?

f**k OFF AND DIE ANAL LIE-GHTON AND DOZIER

STRIKE!

Call the strikes and act on the strikes until agreement is reached. I think we are being played like an old fiddle - keep 'em dangling til the R & F lose interest and then take executive action - which I presume has been suspended or has it?

I think fresh strike dates have to be set asap, then agree and go to fresh talks.....after all, the offer to suspend IA was kept with the last set of talks & I don't remember DW saying it would be for every offer of talks - 7 days of notice should be enough to focus RMs mind ( especially if public sector workers are gearing up to kick off!

)

I AGREE SET STRIKE DATES FIRST. THEN TALK.
R.M. PULLED THE LAST AGREEMENT.

LETS NOT F**K ABOUT ANYMORE.

This is the one and only way we can go. If it's true that an agreement was reached then RM came back to the table to cancel it, how on earth can we ever trust them. Managers telling blatant lies seems to be the norm now, just ask a few guys in our office.

so the TUC conference says all us public sector workers are pissed off and may well stick together for a winter of discontent and suddenly RM wanna talk again . . . . . too much of a coincidence surely

And I agree with the vast majority here . . . . OK arrange more talks but lets take control this time and set strike dates too . . . . no more messing about . . . we want results

tell them cancel all executive action remove all spy inthe cab but still set dates for next week and when we set them make sure we go out and show them we mean business or they will continue to take the piss out of us and make our union look weak.

We should conduct some form of industrial action whilst any future talks are held. Perhaps mail piling up in MCs, DOs, would help to concentrate
Lamebrain & Dozier's minds.
