Just a little bit of an update for you guys. The posties at Stoke are still out on indefinite action. This has been since 11th August and there is no sign of an end yet. RM have tried the bully boy tactics, they have tried their incitement tactics and now they have resulted to the illegal use of agency driver workers to try to break this strike instead of sitting down at the negotiating table and abiding by the MTSF agreement!

Send your messages of support to Midlands No7 Branch along with any donations if you can.

It's nice to see that they're looking after their Members so well. We might not have had so many people ready to accept the Pay and Modernisation Agreement, if they'd had such a fund to fall back on in 2007. Hopefully this is something that will be done by all Branches, if the Strike goes National.

All a bit late though isn't it

[andy2007]

True. But better late than never!

[Night Tonic]

Well in the case of no 7 branch it is already too late.

[andy2007]

Why?
