Yes, for three months and I got more money than if I’d been working. The section I worked on was picked for what was called selective strike action whereby the large majority of members would keep on working with a small minority on strike and being paid in full by the union. Still not sure why I was better off on strike than working and I wouldn’t attempt to justify it - it shouldn’t have happened.
I think you mentioned before that you worked in ECGD - were you there when you were on strike?
Yes In Llanishen at the Tax Office ( Spir Q to pe precise)
I only went on strike on the couple of national strike days, ( and went on the picket line as well!) but our computer operations satff in the same building were part of the selective strike action.
Their experience was different from yours though. They had problems getting their full strike pay. I'm not sure how it ended and I am sure they must have got it in the end but I know a few of them swore they would never take selective strike action again.
From memory, there was about fifty of us in New Companies section out on strike in Companies House and I’m not aware of anyone having a problem with their strike pay - I’d guess about ten to twenty per cent, possibly more, of that fifty would not have gone on strike if it had been “normal” one, although it’s true to say there would have been so much more pressure put on them then than there would be now for strike breaking.
I'm warming to Liz ..
The last thing, really?
Offshoring profits - good
Wealth and income inequality rising - good
Corruption and contracts for pals - good
Energy company profits through the roof - good
Energy bills through the roof - good
Rail workers wanting their wage to pay for the same amount of stuff it did last year - ruining britain
Anyone else remember when the Conservative party never used to wash their dirty linen in public?
Seems a few of their own MPs are not impressed by the way the leadership election is being conducted and you can’t really blame them.
