Re: why should i strike?
The reason you should strike buddy, because it gone to a national vote, what does that tell you? I went to a meeting last night, lots of changes are happening right across the country, it hasn't happen at our office, but it will and along with your office, make the most of finishing a hour earlier, as that will soon go out of the window, one of the changes that have been happening, staff losing their duties, some are being force to travelle 40 miles away, some have their contact hours cut down from 40 to 24, some lorry drivers have been removed from night duty on to day time duty and are being told to pick a duty, otherwise bully management will do it for them, a suggest reading lots of threads on this forum for your information.

Do they take their 40 minute break? Come in early? Ignore H&S rules? That's why they are finishing early like darth postie says.

A new member that has registered to this forum TODAY and his first post is about the strike....Theres alot more new members popping up more and more, something aint right.
What about the other 25%?
My office has 75% of people that come in before their time. The union have repeated to members by not coming in early but it's still happening, unfortunately.

Re: why should i strike?
Crikey, not another one.
I hope, Mr. DIM, you're aware of your master's plans for your own bright future in the new model Royal Mail?
If not, take the trouble to dig a little deep, because if we lose this dispute, a good many postal workers will find themselves redundant, as will the manager who has nobody to manage.
So, have your fun, but don't forget the old saying, "He who laughs last, laughs the loudest."

Re: why should i strike?
If you have to ask why you should strike, maybe you should just go in to work tomorrow and when the preverbial sh*t hits the fan you can think back to the day you posted on a forum asking why you should go on strike.
People finish 'early' in my office too. They come in early, jump walls, cut corners wherever they can and they sure as hell don't take a break.
I don't finish an hour early every day because I don't come in early, don't jump walls, don't run around like a headless chicken and pretty much do my job as I should. I am considered 'slow' by some staff members. F'ing idiots.

Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one
