The only losers during strikes are screws!

How? I've yet to see rival postmen on the streets (after all we've given them every opportunity with our previous strikes). This is the old chestnut dragged up everytime we threaten strikes but it never happens (it may do in the future but have RM management ever heard of The Little Boy Who Cryed Wolf)

If after a ballot, a strike was called, I would be outside those gates - irrespective of how I voted.

If a wildcat strike was called, I would judge the validity of the individual circumstances & follow my conscience.

So YES & YES IF THE CAUSE IS RIGHT!!!

Always have, always will. BUT, CWU members will, in future, have serious reservations where the National leadership are concerned. We had Lameton and Dozier over a barrel in the last dispute and the CWU leadership let them off the hook. This, like it or not has seriously affected grass roots opinion of our Union's leadership. Capitulating to the deal we ended up with, and not even daring to challenge Gordon Brown's backing of RM's fat cats' actions with removal of Union funding from Labour spoke volumes as to who's side Hayes and Ward were on - Labour party appeasement or the membership? - they chose the party.

This will not be forgotten.

It depends what you consider the prize to be. After being on strike last year I won the following: massive self respect - a seriously good time on the picket with some excellent friends - several leisurely days off from a physically demanding job - enough overtime clearing up the mess to cover what I lost in earnings - some brilliant experiences of inexperienced managers and would be managers struggling to cope with a humble posties job - applause and compliments from customers for making a stand against tyranny - quite a few tips at christmas with the footnote "hope this helps with what you lost during the strike" - and last but far from least, the realisation that there is no replacement for us other than the one that exists in your deluded imagination.

Yes! I would strike again, but I do think that any more strikes we have will definiately destory RM, (e.g. the last two 48 hours crippled RM), therefore, I think that Billy and Dave will do anything to avoid a strike and I do think that RM will offer the posties a better pension deal because they cannot risk anymore strike.

Well perhaps if Allan Leighton and Adam Crozier actually discussed things with the Union and were more willing to compromise last May to July and now on pensions we might have got somewhere, and we might avoid a strike this year. I don't want to strike, its the last choice of a desperate workforce.

However, I firmly believe that AL and AC are so autocratic and self absorbed they will once again ignore the strength of feeling and more IA seems inevitable.
========================================================================================================
Just a quick question DOM did you really expect people to accept the offer as it stood in May when the average postie would have lost Â£25 - Â£30 just on delivering the door to doors for free, and the fact there was no pay increase on offer just Colleagueshares and Share in success.

I personally have no problem in helping to make RM a success and profitable but why should I suffer a pay cut which was on offer last year, and our illustrious leaders received an increase of over the current rate of inflation, and then gallantly

said they would accept a pay freeze.

this exactly why these people are dom's because they have had all traces of humanity removed and suffer a loss of dignity after spending many an hour arsewiping the leaders ...shame on you how dare you post such a derogatory comment we are fighting for (or soon will be) for that which is important to us our pension
