I think all 4 strike days will go ahead. I can keep striking for another year, I bet Simon wouldn’t last with another year of strike action.
The day is gonna come when we’re all gonna have to testify.

As much as I'd love this to be over, I'd look pretty unfavourably on the CWU if they walked out of tomorrow's talks (if they are even happening) and told us they were cancelling the strikes as a goodwill gesture.
+1

If they cancel without a concrete agreement RM are laughing. It's the only time that real pressure can be exerted. Now is not the time for any goodwill gesture.
f**k goodwill with these parsites running the s**t show , and after today that any sick pay will not be paid f***ing disgusting imo :evil/mad , and remember it was there final , final , final and they mean it offer :wave

dont' get it the question - why the fook wouldn't they go ahead the die has been cast !
Exactly, with the sh*t weather and the current chaos even if the strikes were called off now... and we worked every day now til Christmas the mail still wouldn't be completely cleared.


There are no degrees of being fuc*ed, fuc*ed is fuc*ed.

Our current ballot doesn't cover these dates or I'd agree with you . We have to be re-balloted again in January .

The ballot for change is live until Feb 17th

We will be reballoted so we can take action if needed after that date

The Reballot result, if a YES, will take effect from then but the union can still call strikes up until that date on “change”
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

Why not call them off I doubt we will deliver much today if anything because of the ice the weather has been like a strike day but your getting paid bring in o/t ban instead of striking. At least every ones getting full pay our office is a total mess with no chance of clearing

So the CWU did in fact offer to call off this weeks strikes but RM refused the offer,

I smelled something like that was in the offing.

I’m so happy tomorrows strike is going ahead.

Now……..it time for THE BIG ONE……THE PUNISHER
