There is more comms coming out to London members and I know a letter to all CWU members will be dispatched shortly.
There is a national briefing next thursday. Plus this Thursday a press conference will be held where Dave and Billy will announce the timetable for the National Ballot.
I realise that you and the London members have lost 4 days thus far with a further two days over the next week and its tough but if we dont win this fight we are in you and the rest of the membership will lose so much more.
Please PM if you wish me to attend a meeting in your office as more than happy to do so.
Keep up the support !! We will win the National Ballot is coming and more ballots are coming on stream and From Friday this week until next wednesday over we have over 400 offices out on strike right across the UK including Peterboro , Bristol , London and Scotland. Plus the VOCs .
September becomes our time and when the work picks up Royal Mail`s flawed plans will be exposed and their resolve will weaken and then we will beat them.
yeah - the line they've been putting out -is the "stupid" union striking when it's relatively slack - bit like the Arthur Scargill calls a coal strike in the hottest summer for a while one , but as we all know ; it's not quite as black and white as RM would hope that people would believe .
Keep it going Dingo - RM don't like it up 'em as Corporal Jones used to say .

You may or may not have done - During 2007 people posting on here were identified, and sacked for posts they made on RMC. Therefore some security minded people will plant misleading information to try to hide their identities. Although I have to say if this is what is happening in the last 2 posts highlighted then its not a very sophisticated method.
