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.

N18 took strike action in March over the impostion of part time duties . The whole of London took action the friday after confernce in June. Next Wednesday London as a whole would have taken 16 days strike action. However some offices in SW and in others parts of London have taken additional days of strike action over and above the 16.

Edmonton (London N18) DO staged their first strike against introduction of PT duties by EA on 7 March:

Cowdenbeath DO was the first (among many) in Scotland to strike against EA on 27 March (see CWU Fightback thread).
I think they are part of Scotland No 2 CWU Branch.

The all London strikes started with the strike by all London DOs on 8 July (see London strike update thread).

And of course there have since been strikes against EA in many other areas.
