What have they actually done?

Given rm 2 weeks notice

[the beautiful bd south]

I suppose its the politics of industrial action but I thought notice had already been served

Legally have to give 2 weeks notice.

[the beautiful bd south]

So they have announced strike dates til end of November but haven't served the business notice?

[qwerty2]

Should be announcing more December strike dates NOW put pressure on them

[Martin Walsh]

Whilst the Postal Executive agreed the dates well in advance , we still have to serve the legal notice 2 weeks in advance and we have to be as accurate as possible informing Royal Mail of the numbers and grades in each workplace who are going to be on strike. We have over 1800 workplaces , 115 thousand members and 140 different grades so this is why we serve the notice within the 2 week legal notice period

Thanks Martin

No agreement so far, as expected.

No, they have communicated IA dates up to December but they give RM notice two weeks in advance as legally required. At present any IA after 11/11 would be illegal........but next week they will likely give two weeks notice again for action up to 18/11.

Yeah I don’t think anyone was expecting agreement after one meeting!
