Alloa, Dunfermline, Cowdenbeath and Grangemouth will be taking strike action on Friday 5th June 06:00 to 08:00. Anstruther members decided to take strike action on Sat 6th from 09:00 till midnight Sunday 7th. Anster decided they would like to take longer strike action due to the bully boy tactics in their office by RM management.

A big round of :Applause :Applause :Applause to our comrades in Dunfermline, Alloa, Grangemouth and Cowdenbeath for their latest bout of industrial action especially those who managed to turn up on the picket line in the rain, hopefully Anstruther will have better weather for their 4 hour strike on Saturday.

Well said k979aaa and hopefully you get a big YES return.Its strange some of the uk's so called more militant areas are posted missing in action, it would be good to get some feedback from members from areas like yer liverpool,manchester,newcastle and glasgow as to where they stand.

I am from near one of them but E/A was imposed upon us and we had to work through it till the ballot and result we can only guess at the result but can resolve ourselves by doing our jobs properly i can preach but i cannot make alas so far it is not good (in hopeing that members do the job properly) but we can wait for the ballot!. Will let you all know in the goodness of time.

I would like to thank all my colleagues in Dunfermline, Grangemouth and Cowdenbeath for their latest bout of industrial action. Alloa were due to be on strike but Royal Mail's strike busting lawyer's found a mistake in the notification to RM and we had to cancel. We did not plan to take strike action on Saturday but when manager’s decided to start testing our members with unacceptable unachievable and un-agreed sorting rates and used them to bully and intimidate our members into not claiming overtime and to work for nothing with the threat of dismissal if they did not complete their deliveries we were left with no other option but to take strike action. I would also again like to thank Michelle Cadbury who made up a great buffet and cake which was most welcome from the pickets in Dunfy and Grangemouth.
