Then it should be on the understanding Royal Mail stop all executive action.

Totally agree, maybe a bit of government interference is what we need.

I’m willing to bet Government won’t want to know.Thats why they sold us off for the quick cash and no more hassle.They will just say it’s in Royal Mails hands.How much interest have they shown over railways?

As I understand the policy when strike dates are actually advised all new leave requests for those dates are refused and all absence on the IA day is classed as IA unless a Doctors certificate confirms otherwise.

Your 14 day isolation period could start five days before a strike day. Tell me RM will happily be seen as putting all those responsible members of public who are following the governments advice down as strikers. The headlines would be worth it.
