any idea why he changed his mind ?

He's one of the good guys at heart, just under a huge amount of financial pressure ( his wife has just been made redundant). I'm glad he changed his mind, and as far as I and the rest of the pickets are concerned he is one of us.

look after him, do what you can to help and make him realise his support is appreciated . . . . . he made a minor mistake but put it right . . . . standing together means when he shows us support we must return the deed . . . . . if we stand together as friends and not just colleagues we can see this through

had three out of 150+ go in today...... one is leaving next week so he couldn't care less! (not gone in previously) the second is a real simpleton who the union saved from dismissal only a couple of weeks ago (theres gratitude for you) he was even escorted to the sarnie shop by our dum and an acting manager from hyde........ who is known as john wayne by the lads!!!!! the third w****r was a 20year + rural driver whos face was picture when we saw him drive a van into our yard from stockport !!!! picket line there longer than normal was it arsehole? there was a DELIBERATE attempt by the hyde bully boy and the dum to bait the steward and remaining pickets into a response, by walking the loser to the sarnie shop........ SORRY it didn't work they all just turned their backs and faced the wall!!! well done boys every dog has it's day and the loser concerned will want us before we want him!!!! p.s thanks for the cream cakes stephen!!!

you ungratefull bunch of lazy c***s on strike. Cant even manage to do a days fukkin work, you all get Â£440 for doin 4-6hrs work a day. Any of you that have a problem with this post should take a look at your leader, Alan Leighton, he's a man that does a real days work. Crams in 5 fukkin jobs so he must work 200hrs a week keeping industry going. Take a look at him an you'll see a true grafter.

On a serious note , that bloke in Cambridge that went in (then told sorting all day) probably was so skint, had a free breakfast then came out, unlike two twin brothers (cant name on this site but twins are rare) who went into the mail centre and performed there SA's on Thursday knowing full well we was on strike.

Oh dear. . . . .I feel so dirty . . . . we had our first union scab cross the line today, the pickets held themselves with dignity and let him pass without trouble . . . . . . so that's 1 non-driver, who knows just 1 duty and none of the sorting doing the work of approx 140 posties . . . . perhaps I shouldn't loose too much sleep over this
