An end to National Industrial Action?

Post by fishtank »

7.1 The Employer shall be entitled to notify the CWU at any time that any of the Protections will no longer continue, if any of the following exceptional circumstances apply:

e) if there is national-scale industrial action (in the form of a strike or action short of a strike) which has been authorised at national level by the CWU, namely industrial action which either (i) involves employees in the majority of operational workplaces across Royal Mail Group Limited; or (ii) involves employees in an integral part of the operation whereby taking action will have, or is reasonably likely to have, a similarly disruptive effect.

External mediators will cure everything.

So what happens when some manager somewhere throws up their hands early on and imposes executive action? We get to sue them now?

So if we have a national strike we lose all the benefits of the deal? Or did I read it wrong?

Yes, if they want.

Yes you did.
It's not just a strike but any kind of national industrial action including a work to rule,a boycott or even a collective farting competition if it's been authorised at national level by the CWU.

So basically, this deal takes are rights to industrial action away. But I'm sure our leaders wouldn't agree to this in a previous statement :d'oh! .
