That would be a ballsy move for them as don't they have a "No strike" agreement.

For a moment there - I had an image of a picket line of hedgehogs, and then realised how silly that was - hedgehogs are useful creatures.
We wish to serve - but we will not be servile

If the manager's went on strike would you really miss them . NO cos things would run a lot smoother without them. This is why they prob would not go out on strike. :cfo :lfo :Applause :Applause

Keep AL awake at night
He's nowhere to be seen, doesn't respond to any emails either from me or a customer I know.

This is a very positive thread - just what we need to hear.

Over in Boston, it was 100% solid all out saturday with CWU members.

3 out of 4 non-union on strike too.

1 strikebreaker and three managers in - did very little from our observations, but that's nothing new for them on a saturday.

The pressure is building and the fun is really going to start next week!!!!

it's working a treat but we cant let them get back on an even keel until it's resolved we must keep this type of action rolling week on week it's very productive in real terms against them . mail is piled high every where i asume as it most definatly is at ours
they wont recover from this action quickly so lets do it again the week after next and roll it on indefinatley untill they crack and i'm sure they will because the managers are under great stress to do the big mans bidding

but the other thing is to get every one on the vans for a double whammy efect

Post by coppertop »

We have been told that mail is sky high at Poole mail centre. Loads for us to catch up with but as others have said let's keep up the good work and pressure on the ivory tower duo.
