Response i got from the union was.

RM were going to take all pay in one week â€“ but yesterday they were hinting they wouldnâ€™t. we told them we were taking legal advice that says they shouldnâ€™t.

Is it worth phoning payroll and asking someone if they've chopped 4 days pay off most peoples wage this week?

It makes you sick - the strike breakers work away while we're all out trying to get a good deal (for them too

) . Yuck,

no wage slips our way yet, but one of the blokes just rang me and said he spoke to wages and they told him that all 4 days were being taken out of this weeks pay plus a portion of early morning allowance. They did say that any days off next week would be missing from next weeks pay because they are not inputting the wages untill late on Wednesday.
Is this legal, how are they allowed to deduct all 4 days when 2 were last week and 2 this week, are the cwu looking into it.

i phoned wages yesterday and they said all 4 days would come out of this weeks wages,however a workmate phoned them today and they told him that you would only lose the 2 days you were on strike of that week.

what they are doing if we have the four days taking out is illegal surely..

how does that work,you were paid last week for the week befores work...the week before last week we werent on strike,so last weeks wage slip was right.
this weeks should have 2 days strike stoppages but for some reason we,re getting stiched up..
