This is a place where we will collect information about the current dispute that will hopefully help people decide whether they want to join the industrial action in any way.  Whatever people decide, at least they will make their decision based on as good information as we can find.  Please let us have any extra information that we can put here and subscribe to the blog so that you get updates and can comment on posts.  The posts are not in any particular order so scroll through.
