Walk Out

Post by immortaltechnique »

How do we stand if we walk out for a day in support of a collegue who has been very harshly sacked?

un official industrial action can result in dismissal. but, it happens and if the strength of feeling is there for your colleague and you believe your cause is just all power to you and sod some anti union tory law.

Imperative to ascertain thinking of rep dealing with case and the subsequent appeal,whilst this is ongoing,it is vital that you all show empathy with your colleague who will naturally feel extremely vulnerable at this stressful time,speaking from personal experience,this means an immense amount and provides great solace.

It can be difficult and foolhardy to post specifics about an ongoing event.

It appears he was harshly sacked and that's the only details the OP would like to disclose. It doesn't really have an impact on the question asked.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Don't believe they were sacked though.
