The strikes are still on or we have had a very successful wild cat at Huddersfield

Strikers 100%

strike breakers 0%

and fifty on the line.

Back from another stint on the gate. I was there from 04:30 until 10:30, I should be able to get a good few hours kip before manning the lines again tonight.

The support from the public has been overwhelming, our office is on a main road, and the noise from cars tooting their horns and kids cheering us on their way to school made everyone feel fantastic. Out of an office of nearly 250 people only 13 strike breakers went in, the same lot that went in on the one day rolling strikes.

Its my Birthday today,

and I couldn't think of a better way to spend it.

100% at our place. The pension thing, d2d and one belligerent manager did the job for us.

I think we all hope for a deal over the weekend though.

They can't expect us to do d2d for no money, it's mad; who would agree to that?

Three out of seventy went in, one acting manager, one managers daughter and one former deputy rep

.

Good turnout on the picket line and excellent support from the public and passing motorists.
