SA's over the strike

John_McC · Post by **John_McC** » 01 Oct 2007, 17:13

Ok firstly sorry if this has been covered elsewhere but here goes....

As far a the Thursday goes do we do our afternoon SA as the start time is after the 12:00pm IA start time ? its been suggested that we do them as the mail will go nowhere and the SA money will help with the 4 days lost ? Also on the Tuesday do we do them even if we are out in the morning as they are after the 12:00pm IA finish time ? Just trying to see what others think as 4 days lost pay is going to hurt and this might soften the blow. Oh and by the way I don't have any SA's anymore jacked them in some time ago, just asking as this might help some of my fellow brother/sister make their mind up as to go in or stay out.

I may be wrong but if you follow the Unions lines SA after Thursday 12.00 is a No No.

However SA after 12.00 on Tuesday would be fine as the strike is officially over.

Yes I'd have to agree but if the mail will go nowhere as it did last time then what harm can it do to the cause. With the last lot of strike when we were all out on different days the mail was brought back to the DO and left there over night as no one would take it to the mail center as they were out on strike that day. Just trying to get some of those that might go in a bit more money and hope they stay out

I know we criticise the union for non-communication but I sometimes wonder if it is worth their while.

sorry but just trying to sway those that claim not to be able to afford to strike, just wanted to give them something to take there mind's of the 4 days loss of pay. As I said don't affect me and I've been out since day one and been on the picket for all but one day of those days with hot food for all at my cost. We have had the numbers slowly increasing in our office so just racking my brains as to things that might keep more out !

Yes sorry about your lack of pay and no SA to bump it up I hope at the end of this we all get the raise we want and agreeable terms. The thing is some in our office get to rely on all the OT and SA's and use this as a reason to go in as it's not just the 4 days it's OT and SA as well. Keep the faith and good luck
