I havn't had a conversation taped (to my knowledge) but we have been told that if we do not cross the picket lines we will have our pay stopped and other action may be taken. This is if our strike day falls on a different day to that of those who are on strike at the time.

Taping conversations is ilegal,unless thay have asked for your consent to tape,as is taking photos either by mobile phone or by camera,a good friend of mine who used to be a postie,now a policeman,has confirmed that to me.

I'm quite sure it is legal to tape conversations without consent but you can't play it to anybody else, however you can produce a transcript 'from memory'.

or something like that ... you won't be arrested for walking down the street with a concealed tape recorder in your pocket.

wrong again it's illegal if your taped without your consent thats why when you ring these companys they tell your that your call is being monitored wether or not they do it is another thing but it covers them if they do

Here you go this is from this site

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4800172.stm

The recording and monitoring of telephone calls is governed by a number of different pieces of UK legislation, according to Ofcom, the telephone industry regulator.

It is not illegal for individuals to tape conversations providing the recording is for their own use, under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (RIPA).

It is a civil, not criminal, matter if a conversation or e-mail has been recorded and shared unlawfully.

If a person intends to make the conversation available to a third party, they must first obtain the consent of the person being recorded.
and if you can read legal jargon here is the act mentioned:
