It's been a long hard work the drivers do deserve thanking hopefully NX can learn from this going forward and do this kind of thanks. 

Very stressful waiting for the fresh samosas to be delivered but worth it 

If we go back to work what will you all have to moan and whing at next 
Oh and the bullshit  

Voting is Friday and Saturday closing at 12.00 on Saturday then counting will take place if a yes vote drivers will probably return to work Sunday
With a higher inflation rate meaning higher mortgages more drivers will probably vote yes to go back to work
This is my personal opinion

Anybody know why 6988 is in bc

On strike with the drivers or hiding from the veg

Pretty much every depot in the west midlands has been blocked this week. I'm amazed Coventry's wasn't blocked from day 1.

Pensnett hasn't 

Unfortunately she is away out of the area this week, so she couldn't!

You're not one of these drivers on social media previously mentioned are you?

No pensnett strike is nice and peaceful 

I wonder how long the public support will last?

I wonder if the more militant members of the public, getting extremely fed up themselves with the situation, might take matters into their own matters & head off down the depots & confront the picket line themselves?

The police would have a field day if that happened!

You sister can go down 😂

There was no pavement obstruction
Nobody was prevented from entering or leaving the property
The unit cars were parked on is an empty unit so I don't know how somebody from that unit complained like the woman representing said like it was pointed out legal and peaceful protest again the woman was only interested in calling the police so she was told to call them
They didn't attend

Quote form woman sent your on private property your on our grass pmsfl

I was at LCP House in TESG meetings most of yesterday and was party to the conversations and phone calls from neighbouring businesses who'd complained about the footpath obstructions. Strangely, some of the delegates, including myself, had sympathised with the the strikers' cause though understood the all round frustrations.

The only difference between the situation at PN and WA is that Pensnett Trading Estate is essentially private property and police have got limited powers to disperse anyone obstructing any footpaths (it borders on civil trespass unless anyone deliberately obstructs another from going about their lawful business, then it becomes aggravated trespass and does permit police intervention), unlike at WA where the footpath is on the public highway and the police will have greater powers.

Still, one's interpretations are dependant upon which side of the picket you sit.

To be honest thanks to a slight "cock up" this morning, ended up going past Pensnett Trading Estate and decided to pop down mostly to see what the garage looked like full of buses.

So, I can't talk about any other time but at around 11:30 there didn't seem to be anyone blocking any pavements or restricting any access to anywhere!

I was still there at 1130 as well

Picket lines at WA and PN obstructing pathways with others having to walk in the road. WA's picket has a gazebo across the path. LCP have tried to liaise with PN's picket to let people pass but were met with some obstruction.

A load of crap you posted about pensnett  I was there that wasn't what was said

Could you explain then from a NX drivers point of view just what the sticking points are in these negotiations? That has not been clear in any of these comments from NX drivers so far, it's all just the 'terms and conditions' are wrong. But what do you actually want compared with what has actually been offered? What are these 'no go' terms and conditions?

This is not meant to be antagonistic but it seems unclear actually what the main issue is here. Is it a higher % wage increase? Different shift timings or length? How far away is the current offer from what you want?

NO

Suddenly everybody experts on strike action

Oh no veg web day watching what buses are running 

Why has it been rejected when engineering team have excepted it

Engineers were offered a different offer
