Well apparently they voted on this strike earlier this month. The Ministry had time to respond before the event. Being smug and complacent because of their reading of the Joint Industrial Relations Procedural Agreement is no excuse.

Jack Straw claims they can cover it?

So it may be office staff with the Keys
and Police helping them.

The POA's motto is "Unity is Strength"

Sign Of The Times.

POA
have said they refuse to return to work.

So it is Illegal
but they can not arrest them.
One Union spokesmam said to the Judge "to Shove it up his Arse"


No hot meals for those in Prison from
Office staff.



New Labour have failed in the UK.

One Prison 'Bristol'
claims they will go back to work.

Another Prison
run by basic Stupid office staff made the eror of letting them out of their cells.
After a fire
so Prison Officers agreed to go in
but only to Lock them up
then return to the strike.

Around 600 prisoners were due to return to prisons today
so they will have to go into Police cells.
Of course some Prisons like Bristol are back ar work
due to the office staff showing them the Judge Order.

This is a Reflection of New Labour's Smug Brown.
He is being tested and Cracks are showing.

Jack Straw has now said he will go into Talks with them,
so the POA are now saying the Strike is over.
And recommends their members to return to work.

If this is a Double Cross by New Labour
they will Strike again.
Without any warning, again.

There was warning ... they voted on strike action earlier this month. Just because people chose not to listen doesn't mean there was no warning.

Sure,
but for that day even the officers did not know it was a strike from 6-7 AM.

Once they know of a Strike
the New Labour Legal team will stop it,
of course.

Brown is in a Panic to set a deal.
But with no extra money going to them
it may cause a 2nd Strike (Without Warning of the Day it is on, again).

They should lead by example ... when is the last time politicians voted themselves a pay-rise that is 2% below inflation two years consecutively

Yes, rest assured that when you can decide on your own payrise it's going to be as high as you think you can get away with.
