We did - got the problem sorted and no comeback - mind you even the sausage chips and bean eaters came out with us.

Worst case scenario you lose a bit of pay or if the manager is a fool he/she threatens to suspend and the rep volunteers to be the first.Postie45 wrote:unofficial strike action ? potentially dodgy groundCichlid wrote:Staff refused to lapse, staged a sit in.

The minute they suspend the rep everybody puts their jackets on and walks.
Be honest when was the last time you had that much fun at work?
Anti-trade union laws were made to be broken.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

As far as I know everyone did their own duties after the sit in but would not do the lapsed duties.fishtank wrote:Worst case scenario you lose a bit of pay or if the manager is a fool he/she threatens to suspend and the rep volunteers to be the first.Postie45 wrote:unofficial strike action ? potentially dodgy groundCichlid wrote:Staff refused to lapse, staged a sit in.

I don't know if their traffic was above model week or if they have a rep.
I just wish I had been there to join in.

It will be nice if we don't have to do lapsed duty anymore.

Re: Staff at a Leeds D.O. staged sit in.
The last time we had an unofficial walk out must be more than ten years ago and that was over a suspension of a bloke who refused to cross the picket line at the MC - tbh I can't see that ever happening again and believe me there have been cases when it has been justified
