We're not on strike yet,so hold tight,1st one to post after 3am wins a prize :Very Happy
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

I'm just ready to set off and make a stand for all of us posties.

Good luck everyone, lets keep it friendly and remember that public perception of us is important.

Then on Saturday let any strike breakers think they have gone deaf and mute.

We have a rota drawn up.
04.30-07.30 was very popular so i am on the 09.30-11.30. My brother is a night worker and he said it was 100% solid.
That makes me very proud of my lads and lassies and goes some way to showing these bastards we will not be defeated.
Also the local burger van opens at 09.00 just as my shift is starting i'm not daft!!
I do know that our whole area is solid just a couple of strike breakers.
Good luck everyone.

Just come back from Plymouth MDEC it seems that around half to three quarters of the early shift have stayed out, not sure will happen for late shift tho as most of them are students.

Yeah this is my 200th post. :nana :nana :nana :nana :nana :nana :nana :nana
