Why aren't acas getting involved during the dispute they have done previously could anyone shed some light on this

Acas only get involved if asked by both sides.

As I said, last nights “Waffle Hour” just smelt of frustration that there is no progress being made. The only “news” was that they have today written to RM. Whoopeedoo. There’s definitely something going on behind closed doors at the moment and I doubt it’s going to be for the workers benefit.

Ward and Pullinger both looked frustrated, their faces had the look of "where do we go from here?"; as for all the bravado that they’re hands down going to win the dispute, I wouldn’t hold a single breath on that one.

One side: "We're losing £1 million a day"

Other side: "1 in 9 people in this country work for Royal Mail Group"

Me thinks we're caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.

[Jefferson Starfish]

Other side: "1 in 9 people in this country work for Royal Mail Group"

My maths isn't great but:

I think there's about 33 million people currently working in the UK.

1 in 9 would make 3.66 million working for RMG.

I don't think that's right!

RM are by executive action in a few weeks imposong later start times and the end of 1 in 4 Saturdays, returning to 1 in 6.

No even mentioned. Is this change of terms and conditions without agreement legal. What are they union doing about it are they even talking about it. Will we have to abide by the changes what advice have the union issued on these matters.

Just like RM imposed by Executive Action, Agreed by the CWU, changes in CSP hours.

Looks like they won’t be replacing the lost strike day from last week. When asked, Terry said they’d have to give two weeks notice and in two weeks time we are on strike for two days anyway.

What was all said last night?

Nothing, pointless.

Heinz beans n ketchup have to apply for the Royal Warrant.
Royal Mail should have to do the same.

I'm eating Marmalade Sandwiches on the picket.

Could be a strike on black Monday/ cyber Tuesday but nothing booked in yet.

[TopperGas]

No point in doing on those dates as Amazon don't start throwing their deliveries our way from Wednesday onwards? Although I doubt the BoD really worry when we'll strike next as they seem content for IA to continue
