I actually more I think about it. I actually agree currently they in talks so that means they would unlikely call it.
My thinking this what they wanted all along strike action was to get people around table thrash out greviences.
Think they will go away if they dont get a deal or desirable deal they will ballot again.
sorry maggy thanks hugh
break news is has been exptended 1 week so talks can continue can mods alter title. Makes sense to provide leeway.

Which means we now head to upto 30 april slap back into likely may holiday strike.
Chris I agree but supose they dont want it indefinate of holding country to strike threats by keep hanging it on. Yes we see workers rights eroded for sure.
Yes we dont want to go back to dark days wildcat 24 hour notice strikes. We do need balanced reasoning to strike action.
