I think you can if you've signed for it, but don't forget what it says on the bottom of your 318. 'Or work as directed'.

I think you have to finish your shift at 6am Fri Morn and Fri Night/Sat Morn would be your strike day,otherwise if you went 3am Fri morn you would be expected back 3am Saturday morn after the strike has finished.

No doubt if i am wrong someone will correct me.

Usually it means you finish any shift that starts before the strike begins, but you would be on strike for the whole of the next shift beginning during those times. But no doubt the CWU will be clarifying this before Friday.

re: Why not an all out strike

Post by F0zziebear »

A one day strike and the public won't notice it, and won't really care. When are the CWU going to get some balls and really call Leighton & Crozier's bluff. If you want to really want to get people's attention go all out.
