tommo apart from the fact i would love to see all rm out on the cobbles together i must say that is the best of your thousands of posts,every time we have a go at each other the other side laughs its nuts off
and to be honest we are going to have a few people who cant afford to strike if their reasons ARE GENUINE we need to live with their position they after all our mates but these numbers should be very small,after a injury at work with a house and a car to pay for if ound myself with no money and i mean it,because of the injury at the time i could get no loans or anything i had a pound to my name and my parents had lent me that,my boss at the time let me come back to work do light duties and collections on docket to help me out between operations,so i know what a empty fridge,cupboard nd bank account looks like
and you know what else he did he counted it as one abscense and in the long run i got compo and costs,those where the days my friend

:cfo :lfo IOW mate, every time I walk past the 2 strike breakers in our office they cast their eyes down. I think that speaks volumes about how they see themselves. Good luck to you and your family :Applause :Applause :Applause --------------KAWAK

how can you say you cant afford to strike but then complain about the proposed changes ? If you dont strike you have no voice, dont expect everyone else to cover for you we all have bills to pay. Try and work some overtime if youre finding it hard or like someone else said cut back on some of your spending.
I think you misunderstood the post from Wdo - I think he starts off saying he cant afford to strike, and then lists the reasons he is. At least that's the way I read it.
yeah I think youre probably right, he just missed out the point that he is in fact going to strike
That's correct, I've been in the business for many years and have always gone out on I/A. I was trying to say that we All have sacrifices to make but if we don't do anything about it it's going to be a bloody awful job (were already heading that way)

P.S I haven't been abroad for a number of years, I have to made do with North Wales (not that theres anything wrong with N/W)

Good luck to all on Friday through to ueday

None of us im sure can afford to strike!! I have had to really watch the pennies.... TBH with all the horrible stuff i read on here of how people are treated and what is going on with our jobs etc i wud have been none the wiser as not many ones in my place wud talk to much about strikes . No one seems to know a great deal about the changes and what royal mail have planned for us. A good few have said they are coming in to work.TBH i cud have been one of them had i not seen exactly what goes on by reading here, i cudnt do it , i wud have to leave here if i did as cudnt live with the guilt!! So no crossing any picket line for me ever!! :crazy:
