GMC WALKOUT...AGAIN

[postmanprat]

happy
that i cant answer i have spoken to a cpl of guys that were on the nightshift and were fn mad but they said that they couldnt find any and that after what happened on the thursday when the walked
it was apparently a shambles in the mail centre and it was acting mail centre manager that held a meeting with the staff while the union reps just stood by and side stepped any questions saying "its up to u"

Been told that early shift rep got taken into room on saturday morning and was sat down with two shift managers and regional manager then another shift manager appeared...so there was one rep and four managers, this from a company that claims they don't bully people...rep stood his ground anyway..just as well the mail centre manager wasn't there but then again no one would have been able to make out what he was saying anyway

just reading through here, sounds terrible whats going on up there

Anyway heres my support from south of the border, we are right behind you despite my manager saying " its a london issue"

I asked " what about the scottish dispute?" he mumbled summat and that was it

Be strong and good luck

Just got home from the picketline and it was a good turn out.
Some trailers taken in by a certain haulage company who did work during the miners strike in 84.
Remember to tune into Clyde for time and venue of meeting.

Well done to all the drivers and processing staff that were on picket duty last night.
Thank you to the drivers that didnt cross our picket line.

Judging by the "Picket line" after the early shift "handover" yesterday, we better get support gathered and turn out in force for any action rather than treating it as a holiday as TheHappyOnes said.

I .......... BE PREPARED FOR THE LONG HAUL GUYS ,PLEASE DON'T TREAT THIS AS SOME SORT OF HOLIDAY THIS IS PEOPLES LIVES YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT .........

During any strike, you would have been scheduled to be working anyway, so the "oh but i need to go home cos ..." story won't wash, just because the weathers turned nasty.

Use yer stormproofs and stock up on the pallets

You're right about needing a good turnout. But remember: There's a limit to how many people you can havge on the Picket Lines at a time. Doesn't it make sense to rotate the people there?
Although to be honest. It's often hard to get a some people to turn up at all!

The most common excuse at my place being: "I'm not driving 50 miles to stand on a Picket Line."
