Strike will be called off Fri & Sat as a “goodwill gesture” & some snivelling waffle about “giving ACAS a chance”

I knew it would be bottled. Said it from day 1

You heard it here first.

A virtual £100 says it will be called off on thursday evening as a “goodwill gesture”

Ya virtual bet is doon :

Okay i'am more than happy to have been proven wrong!

I note they did shoot for the "ACAS Stall" tactic at the meeting though and that is what i was concered about, that it may have been fell for. (As i said it "is" a well known tactic)

I will be back on the picket line for the next 2 nights where i have been for all 3 of the preceeding strike days.

I can hold out for about a year financially, lets get all 21 days of the next batch of strikes on i say, maybe even get a "lock out" on when the rolling strikes days begin.

Okay fair play just maybe wind your neck in before posting straight away strikes will be called off, you know that’s going to wind people up just mentioning that.
The strikes were never going to be called off.
Even if they made a tonne of progress and had come to some sort of pre-agreement, the union couldn’t be seen to be taking its foot off the gas, not now.

As it goes, we are “miles away” according to Simon…
So who knows where this ends…

[2chorizon]

Okay man i agree
Was just concered after the Queen fiasco etc

[tinkerdil]

The call by Thompson to meet at ACAS is not a stall tactic. He needs a third party mediator meeting to fail and then we will see what his true intentions are.

Look forward to hearing all the apologises from the Doom Mongers.
