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.

Excellent day on Friday at Chatham....Not the turn out we would've liked, but higher than expected***... managers looked totally deflated when we were still there at 9 am...( apparently they'd told anyone wanting to work to come in at that time).
Massive support from the public, offers of hot drinks from local residents living opposite, and those who came to question us walked away on our side. Also joined for a while by a couple of guys from the FBU. Pictures to follow as soon as i can get hold of them. :nana

***EDIT
on the picket line that is....out of 100+ we only had 3 go into work....all non union... :Very Happy

I am a postman and I kept the faith and I kept voting, not for new labour but for the working man.

We had quite a good turn out compared to recent local strike days. The MC staff were working due to a HQ cock up, they had their strike day Thursday. We also had a couple of FBU guys turn up for a chat and wish us well, hopefully they will bring something with them next time that we can use to burn things in as it was bloody cold first thing. My office were 100% out :Applause No pics this time.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
