OK. That will win it for them. Talk about fuelling the fire, this whole dispute is based on managers treating us like dirt. They are clueless. I'd say hello to them and if they non-respond put in a grievence! Intimidation.

In the past, at Wrexham, the tossers just look straight ahead without even looking at the pickets.
I'm sure tomorrow won't be any different......... :crazy:

Brings to mind this little exchange between a co-worker( who Ishall refer to as Pat) and a line manager during our local walkout just recently...
LM comes out for a cigarette...walks out of the yard to our picket line , looks at a board we have leant up against the fence and says "Could you remove that board from Royal Mail property please" :roll:
Pat moves it approximately 12 inches and leans it on a telegraph pole and says " There you go ..that was a nice little victory for you wasn't it...anyway shouldnt you be inside working?"
Smarmy LM replies" Noo I'm just a member of the public seeing what's occuring"
PAT "oh ok...as a member of the public can I ask you to support our strike?"
LM " No ...I don't believe in it..."
PAT"oh I see ,, then as a member of the public and not my line manager..would you f**k off"
LM departs with his tail between his legs.....
PAT " have a good morning ....btw if you're still a member of the public..you're trespassing"
