Union won’t need to do much, if anything. The EBA that was recently voted upon during this pandemic, stands.
Normanton, what QF would like to do, and what they can do, are very different things.
Won’t stop them trying to cut a deal to pull the wool over your eyes where they can though!
LH and SH EBAs are pretty tight - and not in QFs favour. Can’t speak for the other EBAs in the group.
I think you need to re-read the EBA, particular the stand down section mate. No time limits mentioned. No useful work = stood down. Nothing that can be done about it. Good luck trying to convince the executive to spend the “war chest” on that one.
