And assuming that they are happy to cross a picket. I suspect that some(many?) may not be willing to do so.
Is the strike only for public sector workers? I'm in a union in the private sector and I have heard absolutely nothing.
Have you asked if the building will be open?HR have not issued any circuler.
You miss the point. The reason for the protest by public sector employees is because they are protesting at the proposed cutting of wages by their employer, the Govt. It is not the case that 'unions fear the reaction' of balloting in the private sector. They have no dispute with private sector employers in general (though there are individual cases of dispute of course).I presume there was nothing to stop a union in the private sector balloting for a days strike action but I'm not aware of any that have. I think the unions fear the reaction they'd get if they did ballot for it in the private sector at this stage
The building may very well be closed.
The porter will not be opening it. But Management might.

You know if you don't want to go work just don't bother.
Another one will do it, but when they are all in the union none will be doing it
Why not ask one of the people who usually opens it for a loan of their keys for the day? I'm sure there's someone that "management" would trust with the alarm code.
Are people allowed to use an uncertified sick day...
Are people allowed to use an uncertified sick day or annual leave?
Management won't be doing it if it not part of their normal duties. They won't do the work of a striking staff member.The porter will not be opening it. But Management might.
Certainly not in my organisation - several members of management would have keys and would regularly open (and more regularly close) the building.So it turns out the entire Public Sector would be crippled if half a dozen guys with the keys went on strike.
My brother (a PS) told me that his union were 50:50 over the strike until that AIB executive's pay made the headlines this week. Now they are 90:10 in favour.
