Half the members have left in the office I work in. So the general consensus is no to a strike.

Not sure what the alternative is? If we don't strike the business will just stampede with there USO reform and reduce the workforce. Now I would be happy for that scenario as long as there is VR which I am sure most of the workforce would be happy to take including myself.

If we do strike we all know what happened in the last strike which was a shambles. With Dave and Co still leading the way all there thinking about now is retirement. We need new leadership. Its not to say the next lot will save the day but it has to be an improvement than what happened last time around.
More likely to be compulsory redundancies so they only need to pay the basic package

I get the feeling that RM are going to do that anyway whether we went on strike or not.

Well not if they have agreed there will be an agreement so unless the CWU agree to the ODM that isn’t happening

there WILL be change that has never been a question it’s a matter of how it’s implemented and given both sides have said there will be an agreement reached next week there will be no railroading of the ODM by executive action - only if it’s agreed
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next
