the more support is shown the better, you sure you can't spare some time to show the screws, the public and perhaps more importantly your workmates some support on that picket line ?

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.

remember to keep to the numbers on the picket line to the limit we had a strike about 10years ago we had more than should have been there, there was a bit of banter with the people who scabbed the police were called and a couple of our guys were nearly arrested .
feelings do run high but restraint has got to be the order of the day
