For any phone call to them i have to quote my reference and can you guess where the reference is in relation to my specific appointment in case you don't it's on the letter they sent me which i still don't have.

No one needs to "make up" problems with this bout of industrial action because it is genuinely causing many people problems still as long as your ok i guess we should all be happy for them to strike.
Rizzy, I would guess that the Hospital that have given you the appointment will have a record of the details of your appointment, including the reference number.
So if you call them, giving them your details, as I have in the past, they will or should be able to tell you when your appointment is.
What are you going to say when the hospital contact you after the dispute and ask why you did not turn up?
Will they not think that you could have telephoned them on the landline to get your appointment details?
I think they will Rizz.
But if you feel happy blaming someone taking legal action fine.

While I understand your situation Mags, what do you suggest people do when they go through the usual channels of airing a dispute and get nowhere?
Just carry on working so letters can arrive at their intended destination ?
I mean after all, the ones who are striking are not being paid, they too are losing money.
So they carry on working and in the meantime the employer carries on in the manner that they do because they know that said worker/s will do nothing but huff and puff about how unfairly they are treated.
Sorry Mags, while I appreciate your situation, we do not pay union subs just for lip service.
