Hi folks
We've been told to finish our duties even though the strike starts at 11;00 is this true?
Also what about the backshift driver does he have to finish his duty at 6:00?

Deliveries are on strike Friday and Saturday.
If at 11am on the Thursday you’re currently at work you finish your shift, if not you wait until your next

If your duty starts before 11 am then you finish your duty on Thursday.
If it starts after 11 am then you are on strike on Thursday.

They broke for lunch to return at 2pm.
Do they take the full 40 minutes or split it 20/20?

At least they take their break, I wonder is the break an hour, if so why we only get 40 mins

I wonder if the Royal mail representatives will be working through their break and if the hearing restarts at 2 whether they'll start 30 mins early like some of their staff?

List them. Aside from a strict work to rule policy, I can't see how the management can be brought to heal. All strike threats seem to do is give the management a shakeup. After a few tea and biscuit meetings, it gets averted.
