I've just come off the picket we had about 20 erics in which we've been told are sitting on thier arse's doing nothing, good turn out on the picket though.
I'd rather have Lockheed deliver the mail than ride around in a plane built by the post office

I'm on strike today to because i want to RM to stay in the public sector. Customers don't realise that when privatised stamps will increase, parcels will increase everything will increase. The top management will be like bankers getting huge bonuses, the workers will get nowt (not even stamps). Our pension will be worse too. Post won't arrive till 2-5 pm. I bet customer swill think its second delivery.

Out of 200 staff,40% in mostly part time.Not a suprise as our office is mostly PT,but still excellent considering we've had all the phase 3 changes implimented.
Seems the assistant DOM had a little disagreement with the union rep :crazy:
But to be honest that DOM must have thought we'd all be in today after all we've done the changes and its a 'London' dispute,yeah right :roll:

95% solid at Slough DO, great support from the public, much blowing of horns and waving, shame on the few spineless cretins who worked.

Just back from ours at Sale D.O. - five went in out of 97 - good humoured orderly picket with support from area rep and public. Visits from and interviews with local press and radio who seem at last to be getting really interested in what lies behind it all - apparently the truth is now more interesting than the spin !!!

Two managers from Wolverhampton turned up to work and there wasn't any - so they went back - I wonder how much that cost ?

Just got back 15 went in out of about 60, about 10 on the picket line. Plenty of horns blown in support, packet of biscuits bought us and the local deli brought out a tray of hot dogs for us.

Stay strong Brothers and Sisters.
