You'd think RM would have learned by now: If they keep doing this, they'll cause more Strikes, and suffer more disruption.

i agree they are defo looking for trouble, infact they told a driver yesterday if he didnt cross the line he would loose a days pay, so they knew they would be out at some stage today or tomorrow

Must be getting really bad if the employer is asking the employee to do his / her job!!

So penalising someone an entire days pay is good

and lets face facts here, how much effort does it take for a manager to take the keys and drive a lorry the few metres to the loading bay (they seem to be perfectly happy to drive them to break the strike so what's the difference), it's this kind of attitude that is making the whole situation worse and creating more and more problems.

Not long now and this problem of crossing picket lines will be over.

Its Royal Mails attitude to this that has in part made a National Ballot a necessity/certainty.

It reminds me of their bungled attempt to prevent part day stoppages by deducting a full days pay. It just made offices go on strike for a full day. Idiots...

but its okay for manager to BRING mail out from the mail centre to the DO's so it must be okay for the the to take mail FROM the DO's to the mail cemtre also, to avoid conflict?
why force someone to cross a picket line when this is going on, asking for trouble me thinks
