Any official action requires seven days notice, and our union is not smart enough to have given that notice last monday as a fall back position if the pec rejected the deal!

Sadly Stephen500 the longer these protracted talks continue the more your words ring true. Its now very nearly the case of its not RM grinding us down but the CWU. Once more it would appear that we have fallen for RM's delaying tactics. 7 days notice must be given immediately to enable rolling strikes to continue as early as possible. The strike action can always be called off if positive progress is made during the talks or failing that A&A can find another Judge to call em off for us.

Monday

Post by semacsorter »

Don't know if it is the same nationally but monday is the day the new times for m/c's comes into effect our shift is changed by 2 hours and all the driving duties are different maybe that is what is sparking the rumour but no walk outs are planned for our area !
