My son did a video of the start of the march. I've just sat and watched it. Yesterday I kept my emotions in check, but today I've just cried like a baby watching all those great people giving us their support. THANKS GUYS. YOU WILL NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH IT MEANS TO US.

The weather might have been gloomy, but you guys showed RM the light by standing together

done a good job there , that's quite a big blow up and there would be digital noise with having to use a high ASA speed in that gloomy weather

Words are meaningless no matter what form they take, it's actions that's needed.

I went to the burslem rally and can honestly say it was truly uplifting to see so many people from the four corners of the uk, standing shoulder to shoulder and showing such unity

On the dispute itself i cannot emphasize how important it is for all postal workers up and down the country that we win the dispute, its quite clear that RMs only intent is to break the union in burslem, they are trying to do this by using blatant bullying and intimidation. The consequences of losing this dispute means that this kind of behaviour will be coming to your office soon

WE are the union
