well i have an appartership as a shop fitter and carpenter and the lad who i work with are thinging about going on strick when we have a lot of work come in we dont have much work at the moment so all overtime has been cut so we only work 39 hour a week and get paid for 39 hours a week

and we were chatting 2day and they were slagging the office staff off and saying how they get nice post tea coffee milk tolit roll and we get all the **** stuff and then it come out that in the offices they get paid till 8pm but leave work at 4 so they have all agreed that wen work picks up and wen we are very busy again that all tools are down and were resusing to work untill stuff gets sorted

i was thinking about what would i do as im only on an apptership and would i have the right to join them i think its out off order how we get all the **** left overs and they get good stuff and get paid longer

what should i do

Answer 1

Be careful about striking if you are not in a Union, because I think it means that you are not protected.  I think if you're not in a union and it is an 'unoffical' strike you could loose your job.
