Unagreed Revsisions?

[Martin Walsh]

The Postal Executive will be meeting next Tuesday and will discuss and make a decision on strike action. The law requires us to give 2 weeks notice so any strike action will take place after the second ballot has closed.

Everyone needs to stand there ground and not do overtime, just work to rule.

Trouble is I'm not sure if that could be construed by RM as being unofficial industrial action

It depends if the union mention within the strike action that we also work to rule. It would be great if all the offices got together at this time and said enough is enough we are not doing any o/t until an agreement is in place. The trouble is how many offices will do that and I would say none, as we need them as much as they need us.

There was also talks weeks ago about doing away with overtime altogether, this is another reason why they don't want people off on the sick long term and why they want sick pay to change also.

That would need a new ballot as both ballots were for only strikes, no mention of any action short of a strike
