A couple of strike questions:
Should I wear the RM outfit? I just assumed I should,
You don't have to have told any manager anything.
The CWU advised us locally not to wear uniform if picketing or in support of a picket. The official picket will apparently be given CWU tabards to wear.

Ours is a small office max 30 talk of 5 people going in on friday to work :arrrghhh , have heard no lorries coming into our office, if so what will happen to them will they have to go to our nearest office approx 10 miles which have a few hundred staff, surely they wont toss it off in our office.
I hope not - the cleaners will go mental

I honestly think its just because people are too disinterested in a future they cannot envision, or can't understand the maths. Same as how people think going up a tax band or earning more, could result in them earning less total money which is rubbish, but joe-bloggs the GCSE Maths D doesn't *get* it.(with a few narrow, rare exceptions).

~£50 a day on strike would be worth every penny if solved in 15 strike days and we got a mere £1000 a year more. (Which, as I didn't calc it, is probably much less than the actual pay rise we want. About 4-5%?)
