We've had a delivery this morning :d'oh!

Just spoken to a mate who's been standing on the picket line and he's estimated that 50% of our office are working :oops:

Another office a few miles up the road has had 100% attendance today :arrrghhh

From Yahoo news :


'Solid support' for postal strike



A second strike by postal workers was said to be "solidly supported", with some staff not involved in the walk-out refusing to cross picket lines.
'Solid support' for postal strike The Communication Workers Union said picket lines were mounted outside mail offices across the country, adding that strikers were receiving "strong support" from members of the public as well as other unions.

Officials said an opinion poll showing that twice as many people sympathised with the postal workers than with Royal Mail management demonstrated the level of support for the union's case.

Half of the 840 adults questioned by BBC2's Newsnight sympathised with the postal workers and the union as opposed to the Royal Mail management (25%) and most did not want the company privatised.

The CWU has served notice of further walk-outs starting next Thursday to follow from Friday's walk-out by up to 78,000 delivery and collection workers.

A strike on Thursday by more than 40,000 mail centre staff and drivers was also said to be solidly supported. The union said workers not called out, including drivers, refused to cross picket lines in areas including parts of Yorkshire.

In my biggish office 100 per cent on strike in the other 6 smaller offices all worked cos there was no picket, that averages out about 50 per cent on strike in the area.

Whats annoyed me with our office is our rep never called a meeting to discuss anything regards to the strike.

It's no wonder that 50% have turned up today.
