IS THIS TRUE

URGENT: PLEASE FORWARD
You will need to be aware of the info below received from the North West

Found out today that management are offering members in Runcorn Delivery Office five options for next weeks strike day

1. Work as normal

2. Work in a nearby office

3. Swap their day day off to the strike day

4. Work back Fridays hours over the course of the following week

5. Book strike day as annual leave.

The tactic is obviously to be able to claim that a high percentage of members were not on strike in order to distort the true effectiveness of the dispute. Anybody accepting one of the options would not be counted as being on strike.

Could you please ensure that the members are aware of this and make it clear that, whilst options 3,4 or 5 may seem to some to be harmless, the intention is to undermine the true figure of those on not working on strike days.

I am sure that the vast majority of members will see this trick for exactly what it is, a cynical not very clever attempt to create a media story.

However it is vitally important that we make this known to the membership before management offer it in other units and urge them to treat the offer with the contempt it deserves.
