Why? because if like me you have had issue's like, being asked to work without legal breaks, had a significant change to your employment terms, havn't been paid or have had your pay reduced without notice. Then this is the only way we will get Royal Mail to accept that their actions will not be tolerated.
How can I protect myself from just being sacked? you can't in all honesty, you can join the CWU you can also contact ACAS to explain your situation before you walk out on the 19th. But they will only be able to help after the fact at tribunal if even then. But this is what Royal Mail is banking on, our desperation for work and wages is the only thing keeping them thinking that they can get away with breaking employment law in oh so many area's. And If they succede then the next people to join Anguard will be RM temp contracts followed by the eventual watering down of the fulltime perm. staff.
So join me on the 19th and let's send a message to every director in Royal Mail and every bad manager,that we will not just lie back and take what they are giving us.
