Could be a bit busy in some Kent Offices Tomorrow

Our drivers at Medway were out early this morning and a fair chunk of work never went out.
The early shift also went out in support which resulted in a very large diversion to other Mail Centres .
After 3 hours we were advised to return to work by the branch sec as we were breaking the law.
If issues are not resolved soon through the IR framework then a legal ballot will take place for official industrial action as the members in distribution have had enough.

What was the cause of the walkout?

Drivers from another office being used to cover overtime plus outstanding issues from 2 previous walkouts have still not been resolved(3 walkouts in 18 months)after promises from both management and CWU that they would be addressed.

It's the laws that are wrong not the branch sec
