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.

Royal Mails figures are not based on people who have broken the strike. They are based on strike breakers plus people who are on a/l and also day offs. At any time in Royal Mail there is approx 20k-25k of employees not working so I would say that there estimate of 20% in work is a resounding result for cwu.

4 out of the 5 towns in my area have not missed any mail and the offices are totally clear of mail, because in 4 out of the 5 towns there was NO support for the strike.
