His union, Unite, aint gonna be happy. They have expressly said that managers were NOT to do the work of postal staff.
The time has come to stop turning the other cheek, time to stop shaking our heads in bitter dismay, time to stop mumbling our angry words.
The time has come for union.

We had a Unite member come onto our picket line to show some support.He ripped into the managers who were Unite & CMA members who were working,they were squirming as he told them they should be ashamed of themselves for doing the striking Posties jobs & that they would be the next ones to get it in the necks off the Royal Mail.A top bloke, he was very critical over Unites lack of balls in this dispute.

Some of our managers rthat i know done done night shifts. When we were on the picket line 3 managers when out in vans, one done a double run. The best part is when i was doing some shopping i seen two of the same managers doing a collection at 17.30( guessing the time its not far away) Surely that must be against the law if they are working right through.
