Not long back from my 2 hour stint.

Last count 16 went in out of 90, some union members some pert-timers not. Some of those who went in though had previously had union assistance to save their sorry skins.

Public support very strong.

Todays strike action 23.10.2009

Post by cfc1sean »

Hi there my fellow posties , :lfo

Well ive just got back from the picket lines of a delivery office based in kent. Im extremely proud to say that in my office of some 50 posties that 20ish of these actually took time out to attend the picket line, another 22ish decided to use the day getting a much need lay in bed, however unfortunately about 8 strike breakers went into work, they was kept in doors sorting and from my understanding the only deliveries that went out was the specials...

We was visited by the local press whom spoke with our union rep and we all had our pics taken for the local papers. The public in the majority showed there support by sounding there horns as they drove past and we even had a member of the public bring down food for us which was much appreciated in the cold.

The next round of strikes which affect us delivery staff are next saturday and im hoping that the lads and lasses that attended today will continue to show there support this saturday.........

Anyway all the best to you other posties, stand strong.............!! :cfo :mfo

10 in out of 150 - 20+ on the picket line - great bunch of blokes, cooker, tea and toast and the same next week and the week after ad infinitum - we are NOT going to blink - every credit to those who may not have manned the picket but stayed away in support. :Applause :Applause :Applause :Applause

Two faced twats, I know of one who worked all through the last strike and is working through this one, everytime he has a problem his 1st port of call is the Union. Why aren't these type of scum not expelled from the Union?
