Newport, Isle of Wight OUT tomorrow!

[shrimpster]

Good luck, Newport, Isle of Wight tomorrow!!

Out for the first time ever!

Now get the ferry workers out as well and the Scab Unionists of Unite will be stranded.

[shrimpster]

Well said Trueblue.

Seems a little unlikely the ferry workers would strike on "our" account, and I can't imagine those ferries would have an "RMS" prefix to their name either.

Wouldn't think they'd bother with a Saturday delivery or collection over there.

Isle of Wight Scooter Rally this weekend, so with a bit of luck there won't be any space on the ferry for the managers.

I am surprised that royal mail can afford the ferry prices.

[TrueBlueTerrier]

Lets hope Royal Mail send them to the place mentioned in their stamps and official literature

Beachy Head rises 162 metres (530 feet) above the sea below and is the highest chalk sea cliff in Britain. The imposing cliffs of Beachy Head offer tourists a clear view for miles around, on a very clear day even the Isle of White can be seen.

Some of us were out in the last lot of strikes but there will be many more this time!!

[shrimpster]

Well done again Patsy01.
The word on 'the mainland' is that the office rep is really pulling things together.

newport west south wales lol out tomorrow, shame im in the east!

[stupidboy]

good luck to all at newport from a fellow island office (one that wasn't balloted in time).

Thats the same picture I am getting from offices round here who were a bit iffy last time. Because of this I am hoping that a decent turnout and a strong backing for the CWU could help them in their "meetings" with RM Honchos.

Great turnout on the picket line at Newport today, certainly appeared to take management by surprise.

[TrueBlueTerrier]

Ohh so close - wrong end of the country though
