00:00 I'm with Mike Routledge, the regional officer for Unite the Union, and you now say T&D Fiction

00:06 and the industrial space, what's it feel? You're on strike? Yeah the members here are on strike over

00:12 Peer Ward, the company offered them 4%, the vast majority of the members rejected that offer and

00:19 unanimously voted for strike action. So strike action, is it a daily strike action or is it an

00:25 unlimited time just now? We've got two 24-hour stoppages this week in the hope that the company

00:31 will come back to the table and negotiate with us. I'm available any time, night or day,
