RM are probably waiting for Glasgow to go back before they introduce the mail to Edinburgh mail centre, in the meantime they send all the mail that should be in Edinburgh mail centre to DO'S. Mail was sorted on SATURDAY NIGHT at certain do's. Clearly scab mail from somewhere.

LOCAL STRIKES ARE OFF UNTIL THE GLW.AND DIST. AMAL. BRANCH SET A DATE FOR THE WHOLE OF THE BRANCH TO BE OUT AT THE SAME TIME
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

By the time they do that the result of the national ballot will be in.

Wouldn't it be extremely beneficial, and have far more impact, to wait on the national strike dates rather than a pathetic local one that's getting us nowhere?

I think so :hmmmm

I tend to agree on that one, Union urged us to go back to work at meeting yesterday so as not to f**k up the National Ballot as they believed RM were ready to go to the courts declaring any result to be invalid, with so many voting papers held up in the backlog. Let's all go for a massive YES VOTE on this National Ballot and get EVERYONE in the country OUT TOGETHER at the same time and really F**K these C***S up. :mfo

I think that should have been be the gameplan from the start, yes hindsights a wonderful thing.

I reckon most area's have their local issues, as well as the national issues, so cumulatively that would equal a national strike to get the widest impact and cripple the glorious "mail pipeline" that they still refer to .. and turn it into a sewage pipe :cool

Hope we get the yes vote, and that all those people that didn't use their votes before do so this time.
