OK, we have no Union Rep (and I'm interested but nothing being done about a placement by ex) so we have no idea is supposed to be striking other than official 5-9th Oct.

We were balloted in E.London about start times a while ago and heard nothing since...

As mentioned my rep went to a reps meeting and gave us the news and said it was the whole of London.
There must be another office over there you can contact and speak to the rep there to get info from.
Also you need to contact your branch about being made up for a rep.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

EDIT:The Mon strike day is cancelled due to complaints of having 3 days pay stopped in 1 week,which is fair enough.

You guys are probably bearing the brunt of RMs backlash because of where you are.

As far as I'm aware there has been no attempt to use the sort of tactics you lads have been subjected to in this area.

Apart from the National Battle there is very little happening in this office - everyone seems to think it is a million miles away.

Same here for the most part. Give them a few lagers, an i-pod and let them leave the mailsort on Saturdays, and they're as happy as pigs in shite.

All the best London! It won't be the first time you've stood up to tyrants!

I might have to eat my words - I'm on leave at the moment - but one of my colleagues e mailed me to say there is a meeting about "Doing the job properly" next week so we may at last be seeing some action. I hope so!

Got to be honest I was in London at Divisional office yesterday lunchtime and the only news I heard was of a national briefing on the 1st October at TUC HQ.

Might be wrong, but I am pretty sure that info is incorrect.....

Not the onfo about the 2 48 hour strikes but the extra two mentioned and I ahve heard nothing about the Monday being cancelled either!!! We really need to get our info confirmed otherwise we are going to confuse each other big time.. :no no

Well all this does seem strange :neutral:
I can assure you at least that SE Lon are out.
And my rep at the reps meeting DID say they said(SE area reps) that it was the WHOLE of London.

Not sure what's going on,bit confused,strange that no one else has been told.
