Our missort run driver said the mail centre was clogged up in birmingham on thursday morning. All mail on friday was manual, no mech.
Let's see where we are next week when this wave is over.

Good turnout at Avonmouth(BS11) same three strike breakers turned up. I was there at 4.10 as we had a tip off they would be in at 4.30. Sure enough they two of them were, the third walked in at 5.55. I LOVE it when a plan comes together!! Everyone stayed until the dum locked the RLE and side gate at 9.20. Was a long day for him, he usually clears off a lot earlier, ha,ha,ha!!!!!

picket line was more leisurely than usual, nice to have a saturday off, eh?

Not bad today I was on the pickett line by 03:00am cos we have earley birds ,driver told me that one bloke in all night with a Dum. Spose someone has to keep him company. By the time I had left at 07:45 only 5 strike breakers had turned out , the same as last time ,but what makes me mad is that one of the sacb scum is so proud of it, he walks around the office letting all know that he is going to come in. Got to say he is a bit of a prick at the best of time . Right can anyone on this site confirm a rumour which is going around down hear that all mail centre managers have had their summer leave in August cancelled. This is what were told today by people going home from the mail centre. If it is true then it just shows how affective we really are being with the action that we are taking.
so up yours BIG AL & LITTLE C. :lfo :lfo :cfo :cfo

There were 3 people and the DOM in our office today, probably because nobody bothered turn up to the picket line, i was there manning the gate on my own from 4:30am until 9am.

It seems like support for a picket on a saturday is non existent, probably because most of the staff in our office are hen-pecked husband types.

With nobody else there on the line, were you not tempted to go in to work yourself? I'm sure no-one would have found out!!

Sounds like you should put your name forward as the next office rep, although support does not look strong (with picket line attendance yesterday).

Perhaps he's got principles? Not everyone is like you lot you know.

Cybitech, stick with it mate! Better to be a Horatius at the bridge than Vidkun Quisling selling out to the enemy.

You may have felt as though you were on your own mate, but believe me you weren't - every one of us is joined together by our spirit and determination - YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE.

Everyone who manned a picket line on Saturday morning, me included was there in spirit. So don't see it as just you at the gate, in reality there were thousands of pickets standing shoulder to shoulder with you and they will be till the end.

Well done.
