Next Strike Dates

[clashcityrocker]

The strike breakers had better be prepared to be treated like s**t by their colleagues for the rest of their working lives. I hope that they think it is worth it for a few days pay. They are prepared to shaft the rest of us so I will have nothing to do with them other than to report every single misdemeanour of theirs to management.

You come across as a sad and lonely person.
And a bully.

Not sad nor lonely - but I don't want to work alongside people who are prepared to shaft their colleagues. The sooner that we can force them out of the job the better. You are either with those fighting what RM are trying to do to the job or you are against us. If you are against us then don't expect me to shoot the breeze with you, swap a day off or holidays or do anything whatsoever to make your life pleasant at work.

Not sad nor lonely -

But quite happy to be labelled a bully.
You should be ashamed.

Came on here looking for something useful like the title suggests and clicked straight away to the last page and thought I was on WP for how derailed this post is.

You are the one doing the labelling pal. Those undermining the sacrifices of their striking colleagues for their own personal gain are the ones who should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves today.

our office is now clear after the 1 day strike, apparently it was very busy sunday for those volunteering to work
i get that some if not us most can't afford to lose pay but it's kinda deflating when some are actually up on their wages even with the strike loss money, no work friday but paid the sunday premium rate, but guess they'd still do it for single time and add an hour or 2,
unless an overtime ban is balloted & voted in then we will struggle in this dispute, they will quite happily accept 1 or 2 days disruption if all clear after 2 or 3 days and also saved fortune in wages

Ours was clear on tuesday even had time to lapse 3 walks guys clearing next day and people starting early complete waste of time

We need to strike for 6 days, or Black Friday and Xmas, then it will back up!!

Are you serious… 6 Days… do you really think that with the cost of living that won’t do more bad than good… the more consecutive days in a week we strike the more people will cross the picket line and go back to work… it needs to be one or two days a week maximum, I think most people would agree with me… 6 Days to me is would be nearly £950… that I can not lose in a month

You currently are contracted to earn £158 a day?

I dont think you need to worry about a payrise - thats more than a COMDOM gets

I am going to admit I am on really good money for what I do… I am just saying that going out for let’s say one whole week would out a lot of people in trouble… no matter what they say on here… you can’t strike one week then moan you got no money the next

What do you do?

People shaft their colleagues left, right and centre every day. Strike or no strike.

You also say you're either with us or against us. When you think about it most managers are against us but yet you're quite willing to report colleagues 'every single misdemeanour' to management........

I can quite understand the frustration, anger and bitterness that happens between those who strike over those who don't


It must be very sad and lonely working in a depot today with only the management for company. They will probably have you getting the coffees and crossing the picket line to get the Maccy D's in

We have one guy at work, having a go at people picking up overtime, telling people what's the point of striking if you do that, telling them don't start early, don't rush about, take your break,bragging about working 3 of his days off so he don't loose any money. If you strike, don't do any overtime, if you do then striking is pointless.

That's bollocks if directly as stated.

If you cross lines, you're bad, if you do overtime to *try to make up for strike wages* that's bad. But I won't begrudge anyone for doing overtime they normally do on non strike days... on non-strike days.

For example: someone who regularly (25hrs) does 2 hours pre-shift OT for prep, then does a walk, and goes home, should not lose lose 4 days of that OT, plus the strike day, Plus the overtime they would've generated on that strike day, when a full-timer loses just an 8 hour strike day. that's a 13 hour loss versus vs 8.

It IS stupid to do overtime you normally wouldn't have done though, which is just... You need to know who you're working with and why they do what they do, to judge if they're making up for strike money, or doing the rest of the week 'as normal', for what they typically do.

This may be off topic slightly guys, but not sure where to ask it, but a colleague of mine has been on rehabilitation/phased return to work, was wondering if they lose the full days pay or 50% due to his shorter hours?

Full day.
If they are on rehab then they will be on full pay even though they are working shorter hours.

I think that's about the limit of what you can do. We all know we can't abuse Strike Breakers, and will drop ourselves in the shite if we do.

TBH I just cannot be bothered to interact with these people, I've always been the same, if someone gets on my tits I just ignore them. So it won't be too hard to do this in the future because the guys who are Strike Breaking ... I've already been ignoring for years!

It does make me wonder though how some people can stand on a picket line, watch these guys cross it (get paid for doing very little while they're losing a days wage) and then happily laugh & joke with them the following day. Perhaps they're just more magnanimous than me.
