We’ve been asked to clarify for members who work shifts what the position is with taking strike action on 31st October if your normal work pattern would fall partly or wholly on that day.
The day of action is from 00:00 on 31st October to 24:00 that day (midnight to midnight in other words). To participate in the strike you should refrain from working whichever part of your shift/s fall within this midnight to midnight band.
If, for example, you were due to work a shift pattern of 22:00 on October 30th to 08:00 on the 31st you could “down tools” at midnight. If you were due to work the same pattern on the 31st you would arrive at work at 00:00 instead of 22:00 but then work the rest of your shift as normal. (In a case like that the net effect would be that two shifts would be partly disrupted.)
