Think the question has been answered by now. Yes they can opt out by leaving the union altogether but taking annual leave because you don't agree with the stance isn't an option during industrial action.
Why? Can't they opt out if they disagree with the strike?
If they bdo take annaulo leave who will know?
So it's "you're either with us 100% or you're out".Think the question has been answered by now. Yes they can opt out by leaving the union altogether but taking annual leave because you don't agree with the stance isn't an option during industrial action.

Well said, i'm getting it in here already. I'm well able to stand up for myself so couldn't care less. But someone else could be bullied into joining the union.

Yes I suppose this is the case and I'm aware that many people join a union because they feel they have to.
I was however, pointing out that taking annual leave on the days of a strike isn't an option.
Look at it the other way. You have employees who are members of a union. The membership was balloted for industrial action. The ballot is in favour of industrial action.So it's "you're either with us 100% or you're out".

You're the employer. You need staff working at that level on that day. Are you going to say "Fine, off you go, have a nice day?"
My friend on €20k a year loses a day's pay to strike next week cos he feels he'll be letting himself down if he doesn't. He can't afford this exta levy, only took the job in the first place because of the benefits despite the poor salary. Now he loses more of his salary for the same benefits he was always going to get.
has this person any ambition in life or is he/she content with spending 40 years in a job they have no interest in apart from the pension and job security?
it makes me sick, the latest excuse the public servants are peddling about 'only going into the public service for job security and pension'
anyone who shows such limited & myopic ambition does not deserve to be kept in employment.
Taking leave so as not to pass a picket placed by your co-workers doesn't sound to me like having "the conviction to stand up for what they believe to be the right thing."Yes, that’s exactly what I’d say.
I would see someone who had the conviction to stand up for what they believe to be right thing.

It sounds far more like wanting to avoid displaying any conviction at all.
To me it’s just trying to limit the amount of bullying and intimidation they will face from the foot soldiers of the Bearded Brethren.
But a sick cert is. I'm out anyway as i'm having an operation.
I've already said if there are more strike days i'll moonwalk across any picket line. Anything to annoy them even more !!!
Why would there have been any strikes; the unions have effectively been running the country for the last 10 years.? anymore strike days. There hasn't been many strikes in the last 10 years.
Where or when has this happened in the last 20 years?I'm aware that many people join a union because they feel they have to.

And just who do you think negotiates the wages increases in the social partnership increases? Do you think the employers give wage increases out of the goodness of their hearts?Fight for ?? They get a raise through the social partners like all workers.
