CWU Facebook live: 19 days of strike action! Dates and LTB added.

Should the union have had MC Distribution out on separate days from MC Processing?

the backlog will be insane.

Just work your time don’t run round for these scum

[Gasman11]

Indeed, the goodwill that we normally show at that time of year should be well and truly extinguished.

For me, the announced 19 strike days don't come early enough.

Only 3 individual strike days in a period of 32 days between October and November will have zero effect on anything. Won't even cause a ripple. The public won't even notice. It just kicks the can down the road for another month.

I can sidestep four of those days due to them being my rest days or falling on my week off, but very senior people in my office have fixed Saturdays off and tend to book their leave in the Summer, the week after Xmas and end of March. they're going to be fuming.

Selfish flappy pr**s who screw over their fellow workers. We have about a dozen of them in our office and you just can’t get it into their skulls what damage they are causing. Put them all in the bin.

Is it true about CWU refusing to take the ACAS route, or is that just more RM lies? If true that won’t look good on the union.

Have a word then. They’re obviously too thick to see the bigger picture, so explain it very simply to them.

Are weekend staff not striking?

Only this Saturday coming the 1st of October, after that there is no more planned daytime strike action for any Saturday or Sunday.
