Strike ballot for Royal Mail workers

[Red Robbo]

I see counter staff are taking action short of strike action from today ie working to rule .

There in no chance that it will be an all-out strike....i for one will not be going all out........

I would struggle all out , in fact I'd be evicted

Heh, what are we worrying about, come Christmas, Billy & Dave will agree to suspend the action, go to ACAS and get us stitched up again !!

From a PR point of view, the CWU should announce that no strike action will take place in the month of December, it will help get the public onside.

cant understand why the cwu dont try other tactics.
They are trying to get a raise in overtime pay because of the amount of overtime now relied upon to get the work done
why not try an overtime ban to highlight this.
along with a work to rule.

I know that you will never get everybody to play ball but why not try something new for a change.

Which is exactly why working to rule and overtime bans won't work.
It would also hit people in the pocket, especially PT staff, so defeating any attempt at trying to save staff from losing money by striking.
