Is not striking going to work?

[k979aaa]

may not appear popular but i agree with smok3y666
i was 30hrs for years and did work overtime and days off but i always cut my cloth to suit my 30hr wage
when you take any job you look at the basic pay
i could argue that some p't staff here have been on higher wages than f't this summer period, plenty got asked in daily to start earlier with me getting virtually nothing indoor for 3 months, coupled with working days off which i never do, they are on a decent scratch
i'm not too fussed, take it or leave it, it upset a few though
you also can argue that f't will lose more pay than p't but that's petty, we all must back each other

Yes for there is more to lose already today someone on this site was refused ED basically going over your time If said manager said that to me he better get his walking boots on! But this is not an individual case you all know away some guy at the top has his snout in the trough and it gets worse for all of us he has invested his whole future in turning us all over. This guy has an empire in Europe leaving Europe will not help but we can defeat this man for that is all he is one man one individual but a tough one at that we call upon the unity of all of you and we can make a difference for all our futures!

On the subject of whether we end up striking or not, I've never understood the unions lack of enthusiasm for a complete overtime ban.
The whole business runs on OT, surely that is our main strength in a dispute.

So only those that rely on overtime are affected? That’s fair isn’t it! You tell those on 20hr contracts that usually work 40/50 hrs that they can only work 20 whilst you work 38

Using that logic one could argue whether its fair that FTs lose more money when we strike.

Strikes don't benefit anyone in the short term we need to look where we came form ie in 1970 7 day weeks to now 5 day weeks we need an objective and that is the four pillars why they cannot abide by an agreement only 2 years ago and we must defend this agreement!

Getting 20 hrs pay is better than no pay that's why I think an overtime ban will be most supported, how many people can afford no money for a couple of weeks, the bill's will keep on mounting.
On another point do general public know anything about a strike, if I didn't work for RM I wouldn't know about it or what it was for. The union need to let outside people know whats going on.

It's not about pay, it's the way we will get treated, people need to know or RM will portray us as greedy.

it wont be a case of no money. the strikes will be random days. maybe a Monday, then Friday the next week, or a Saturday then a Monday. it could work in a part timers favour if they only work 2 or 3 days a week. granted, it may not as well. but its aimed at maximum effect on RM with the smallest effect as possible on staff. we MUST beat this dictator.
