Is it true that during official strikes that CWU Union reps get paid by the CWU ?

3 questions:

1. Why does this always rear its ugly head.

2. Why don't posters use the search function or even Google site search.

3. where does this crap come from.

To answer, all reps who paid by Royal Mail, including Full-Time release reps DO NOT GET PAID on official strike days. For Union Officers who draw a wage from the Union, its standard practice to donate their wages for each day of a national strike to the CWU Hardship fund.

Already done.

Like you I do not understand others mentality.
How do they get on in the real world, does their Mum still tie their shoelaces?

If they can come in early, not take breaks etc. etc. and work for nothing then they can afford to strike.
