Will you go on strike?

[mandelsons_toenail]

Simple

Where do you sit with potential strikes and industrial action?

Me, I wouldn't cross a pocket ever, even if I had to sell everything I own to pay my bills.

I Do not want to go on strike!
But do we really have any other option.

.No unless you want to be known as a scab for the rest of your life heavy burden to carry imo

If we dont all stand together we will get walked all over . Nobody can afford to strike but nobody can afford not to , if the CWU dont win the battle our jobs will all be gone

I really don't care what people call me,I've got thick skin.
But I do care about my working conditions & my pension.

Don't think we have any other option.
And also believe that RM will force us into it.
None of us want to, but we'll have to. Last resort.

Someone in the company should be able to do the math. Each strike day costs X number of pounds. Given their current profit margin is something like, what, 3%?, it won't take long until even a limited strike pushes them over into the red.

Also, (...here we perhaps enter into Fantasyland...) it wouldn't take much dough to satisfy the members. A 3% raise, extension of the MTSF, a loan to plug the gap in the pensions fund. Let the next set of honchos deal with the CWU - all that matters is that they get their privatization bonuses and stock payouts.
