Members Update

Members have asked how the branch will communicate information about the forthcoming action on the 30th June.

Will we, for instance, be holding workplace meetings?

The answer to this is no. The reason for this is that any meetings, or indeed work involved in arranging industrial action cannot be undertaken within official faclilities arrangements. Hence, meetings would have to be conducted outside of working time and off the site. We believe that arranging such events would not be productive.

We will therefore restrict communications to leaflets, posters and this blog.

It is worth noting that deskdrops for instance, specifically in respect of industrial action are always conducted during the members free time... during lunch breaks for instance. Also the cost of printing any such leaflets falls to the union and is conducted privately off site to avoid any confusion.
