i second that when he goes to sign up lose his membership form accidently feckin freeloader

When they need someone to work 6 into 5 I say use those that worked the strike WE lost a day's pay to say WE disagreed when they walk across that picket line they are saying "I'll do it I agree with all the changes"

does he think that gets him off from being a scab.

Don't think so

Wedgie him till his eyes fall out and tie a belt round so he stays like it.

any union person going to work on friday should be expelled from the union and told to haggle their own wage deals
Totally agree.
Sad thing is PL17 Callington Cornwall are working tommorrow

Unless Plymouth Mail Centre are working ( which I am sure they wont ) this office will not get any work anyway.

lorries going into our offices normal time as drivers to finish their shifts first so they should have stuff to do but the strike breakers in my DO have been told that they won't be kept very busy, and dum promised to make bacon butties in case they smell the barbie and get jealous. Personally I wish they all had to go to MLOs that frightens the s..t out of them.

We have been told by our DUM who likes to think he runs things that the offer of using the office car park has been withdrawn for striking employees. As the parking on the road is limited he is hoping that not to many of us will turn up , but he will be shocked as we have made alternate plans for parking. We have also got a rota system in place so the office will be maned all day CROSS THE LINE AND YOU SHOULD BE MADE TO SIGN ROYAL MAILS CONTRACT FOR DESTRUCTION. :lfo :cfo :lfo :cfo

In my mind you are - If you cross the picket line you are saying you accept Royal Mails position and don't agree with the union. So take the 2.5% and all the strings you can do the extra work for a pay cut - but me I'm in this for the long run until Royal Mail change their mind.

Be very careful as you don't want to be accused of harassment. Be cunning with it

Just a note to say thanks to all who wished my wife well. There is a great bunch of people on here and you are very much appreciated.

In the workplace in today's Britain we seem to be nothing more than an acquisition valued only by your profitability, when you no longer hold any value those in power will cast you aside, and that includes you strike breakers. If any of you 'top brass' are reading this consider the words of Joe Strummer, " ...people can change anything they want to, and that means everything in the world. Show me any country and there'll be people in it. It's time to take the humanity back into the centre of the ring and follow that for a time. Think on that, without people you're nothing".

Good luck to all tomorrow.
