Do you really think he is going to turn up? He is playing games with you and I can almost guarantee the Friday and Saturday strikes will be called off as a good will gesture, before it goes to ACAS. We haven’t got the clout like the RMT have. We are too worried about upsetting the public. So what if we upset the public? It’s our future,not theirs, we don’t have time to talk to them anyway. Half of them don’t even know we are striking. They really don’t care. We need to get a grip and stop caving in. Are the RMT and Mick Lynch worried about what the public thinks?
Bang on!!
I’ve seen this “ACAS” tactic before
it is stalling from both sides.
Strike WILL BE OFF
cancel your weekend plans now.
Thompson has proved himself to be both dishonest and untrustworthy, and this offer to meet is nothing more than a damage limitation and PR exercise from him. There isnt enough time for anything to be discussed that would give reason to call this weekends strikes off now. A 'goodwill' gesture to call of this weekends strikes will have Thompson laughing behind all our backs, don't do it......
If Simon would like to give us something as a goodwill gesture then i'm prepared to call off this weekends strikes while we talk. How about £1,000 and some shopping vouchers
Not a chance the strikes this week will be called off.
It would be suicidal for the CWU to do so without an agreement and solely based on trust.
Lets hope you are right , we dont want Dave Ward waving a piece of paper around declaring "PEACE IN OUR TIME" , its a ploy to stall strikes again until after xmas which would be a waste of time !

Read between the lines it is already as good as called off v
Royal Mail Group CEO Simon Thompson has responded to CWU General Secretary Dave Ward’s letter offering talks. A meeting will now take place tomorrow. Dave Ward and Andy Furey will attend on behalf of the CWU.
We will of course update you on all developments but reps and members should continue preparations for strike action on Friday and Saturday #StandByYourPost

No way should any of us be fuc*ed around by calling off strikes the day before. Like we all have to sit around watching social media like fkin muppets and waiting to be called in on a whim. ...honestly they can fk off if that happens.
I'm resigned to losing the money in solidarity, but I've arranged to actually do something for a few days and that's what I'm doing.

Yes correct! it is a ploy to stall the strikes (and from BOTH sides)
I’ve seen it before in another industry, the “ACAS Olive Branch” trick, as old as the hills
