10 in at our office who actually work there, although they were bringing people in from other offices as well. Prob cos we are out the way and considered low risk. We have around 40 staff.

Around 15 on the line at some point or another.

One incident to report. 1 worker decided to throw verbal abuse at the line on his way in. Needless to say everything was written down and a grievence will be put in tomorrow. We even had an independent witness who is willing to back us. :nana

I think the union reps need to be more active getting pickets at the smaller offices. In my area where there are pickets there are 100 per cent on strike where there are no pickets there are 100 per cent working.

Keep this thread up,it's being watched. :Very Happy

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.

Just found out our local labour mp paid a visit to our picket line and the boys asked her a few questions regarding the goverment fighting against us in this dispute.

Before you ask i done a 5hr stint on P/L today just incase my post is mis-leading and i missed her barsteward.

They told me that she gave typical politicain answers never to the point but did offer to come and have a chat to our DIM that would be a laugh.

What made me chuckle when she first spoke it was "what can i do to help" (give mandelson a one way ticket to the south pole)

I cant believe that some crossed the line and theu have to work with you boys tomorrow thank good ours was 100% i havnt a clue how your all going to stay calm.

good luck chaps stay strong stay disiplined
