Local Government Strike Wednesday 30th November

It's all a load of Cannonballs in here! This is the virtual Arsenal pub where you can chat about anything except football. Be warned though, like any pub, the content may not always be suitable for everyone.

Given the current climate the bastards would jump at the chance to sack an employee to save money.

thank's stormin, i come under Ceredigion council, the reason i am not part of the union, because my wife who also worked for Ceredigion council got made redundant last month, after 10 years and i just can't afford it, also i haven't got LGPS pension - and at the moment can't really afford to lose a days pays
Just turn up as normal then, does everyone you work with know you are non union? As a union rep and I don't tend to like people who choose to work during strikes this bit will hurt and may be stating the obvious:-

Consult Ceredigion Councils bullying policy, check what their definition of bullying is, any thing you think may be against the policy ie said or done against you then make a note of it, times dates persons present etc - then get enough evidence together then take it to the boss, if no action taken the move up the line, end of day if you are forced out then you can pop up in an employment tribunal.

well there is a few in my office who are non union members, and typically everyone keeps asking the same questions "are you coming in to work", also i've heard there was only a 30% turnout, so even the union members are not too happy about striking. I will sneak in at 6am and leave at 6pm - when they have all gone home :D
