Strike Cancelled 9/9

[Acca Dacca]

This decision is getting torn to shreds on social media

[redrobbo]

Ward n pullinger have totally lost the plot we should all be off tomorrow no picket lines that shows more respect than going back they're a disgrace

[ssdd]

Yes. No picket line. No work. How does it show respect by going back to work?

[norris9]

This just emphasises how we are controlled by the rich and powerful.

If a poor person had died we wouldn't be calling off strikes.

The CWU could have simply cancelled picketing - we can strike in peace at home. A day of striking and mourning.

[jagger]

It would have been a bad look for the union.
Correct, although unfortunate, decision in my book.

[Martin Walsh]

The CWU have no choice. RMT and Tessa both have call strike action off for next week.

The support we have from the public would be lost if we continue to strike tomorrow.

Those who were not In Royal Mail when Diana died will not understand how the uk will change over the next few days in terms of mourning and how the media and public will view people striking and cheering on picket lines.

Remember this has not happened in 70 years and it is unprecedented and we represent members who work for the Royal Mail.

Our dispute still is on but if we decided to push ahead with the strike tomorrow we would lose all the public support which we have and we need if we are gong to win.

[KnowItAll]

Never seen so many anti union posts on a union fb page. That sort of anger is just showing disrespect to so many in the country who will support the CWU decision. Way to risk losing the support of the public.

yes, next week.

read the room, pickets should have been cancelled.

[Hyrrokkin]

CWU Ward & Pullinger- disgraceful,pathetic and spineless decision pandering to look good in the media for good PR
We are fighting for our futures - they are as bad as RM

[Jdgraham83]

But they have already docked our wages for tomorrow?? Are we working for free??

This is my main issue with this. Does anyone have an informed answer to this?

Awful decision from the union this it is irrelevant

[LaggyBand]

If they’ve already docked our wages then surely we shouldn’t be working?

Exactly. We’ve been given less than 12 hours notice

[Schiff]

This strike isn't being cancelled as some sort of concession to Royal Mail. It is being cancelled as a simple mark of human decency. To be honest, cancelling the strike at this short notice will be almost as disruptive to RM as us being out for the day.

[PleasedButSticky]

If you think the decision to cancel tomorrow's strike is wrong you're not thinking hard enough or at all.

How on earth can you think those optics work? Engage your brain ffs? It would look terrible for the workers and the union to strike tomorrow... you know why, don't play the jelly brain.

If you're just bitter about losing a day off, you still don't have to come in, no disciplinary action, it counts as unpaid leave.

Should hopefully be quiet tomorrow?
