we walked out Friday into saturday night shift went back today but as far as know the overtime staff walked again today not sure about the duty holders

Everyone is getting taken into the office and being give new terms and agreements about breaks on overtime ect

I am sure we will know more tomorrow

But everyone are being advised to go back to there dutys tonight and tomorrow and hopefull it can be sorted out before there is another walkout

Might be Too late For That night3uk I believe the Edinburgh driver's have adopted a similar stance to the overtime staff and have walked out. :wave

Overhead a line manager at my place today saying Edinburgh Mail Centre is completely packed full of mail/parcels/packets. This particular manager was at EMC yesterday. Will take weeks for it to get back to a normal level.
I noticed on my short delivery today (it was short because there is no mail :dance )that letters are dated as far back as Sept 19, and lots of them, so backlog is giving RM a kick in the balls :cfo :mfo

Heard there was to be talks at 10.00 am this morning but not heard anything about how it went
The time has come to stop turning the other cheek, time to stop shaking our heads in bitter dismay, time to stop mumbling our angry words.
The time has come for union.
