DOM came around this morning asking who's working or not on Monday and reminded people that they'll lose £300 if they strike!

I've been off for 2 weeks so can't gauge office feeling but going by previous strikes in an office of 40 we will be lucky to get half of that support the strike,add to that the rumour of the £300 and your looking at a dozen or so at best.My annoyance is with the union not making it 100% clear in leaflets,letters and reps that there is no £300,I feel they have been shoddy and made the situation unclear.

Any chance of a picture?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

There is a forgotten, well almost a forbidden word, which means more to me than any other.

Folks, there is still a £300 lump sum (pro-rata).

Why? Because no one is striking! :whistle
