Staff at a Leeds D.O. staged sit in.

Post by Cichlid »

Staff refused to lapse, staged a sit in.

Managers from other D.O'S sent to do the lapsed duties. :Very Happy :Very Happy

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.
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. :cuppa
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.

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. :nana :nana :nana

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

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 :sad:
