They will get no sympahty from me or any others on this site (I suppose they could strike but how could you tell the difference ).
They suffer the same affliction Mr. Magoo had , short-sightedness. I'll be laughing like a drain when their day comes.
I'm sure some of you are thinking about crossing the picket line next week. You're fellow colleagues on here will not think any less of you. Everyone that does cross it have their reasons for doing it.
A troll surely?
But if not,heres one postman that will be on the picket line next week even though im on leave. :lfo :cfo

Come on DOM you've had your laugh now tell the truth . . . why have you put something so bloody stupid on here . . . . I've seen you on here before, you know how strong feelings are and you know that these colleagues you mention WILL mind strike breakers, a lot.
If you're in the union, then you're on that picket line, no excuses.
If you're gonna scab then quit the union and look after yourself in future coz we don't wanna look after people who turn their backs on their union and their mates.
anyone who wants to cross a picket line needs to think long and hard if they can live with
the knowledge they have let down their workmates and the atomsphere they will have to work in.
even if you dont think that striking will achive anything you must make a stand
we have been walked over for too long
If anybody is thinking of following DUM'S advice can they go round to the shop and get some PAXO and chestnuts for when they get stuffed by the gruesome twosome :lfo :cfo
You can always tell when a screw, dum or Laurel and Hardy are lying-the lips always move. .

PS: If you have seen some of my previous posts - I am even more convinced that the Government will not let the next strike go ahead - yeah RM have put a HUGE spin on the numbers but the Government will know the TRUE FIGURES AND COSTS SO FAR.
GOOD LUCK TO US ALL AND HAVE FAITH
Hello Codebreaker,
I hope you are correct..........but i am curious to know what makes you so "stone bonkenly sure"
Just seems so obvious to me that it is the only logical and sensible thing the Government CAN do.
GOOD LUCK TO US ALL AND HAVE FAITH
It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.

the government has just given us a huge business loan so if they now try to help us in any way it could be seen, by our competitors, as us being given help purely to look after the governments investment. If our competitors kicked up a fuss about this it could lead to all sorts of embarrasing investigations into the whole affair, something Gordy Brown really won't want just yet. Do you still think Labour will be any help to us . . . . . . . I say withdraw our support and money from the Labour party, now.

Sorry do not agree, if you are in the CWU and cross the picket line I personally will think less of you, might not be able to say so ( not in earshot of Managers anyway ), but at this time nobody can tell me what to think.

Anyone who crosses a picket line. worker or screw, is a craven, cringing, fawning, cowardly specimin hardly fit to be called a human being, and certainly not fit to associate with decent people. strike breakers are the type of being with no thought for anyone but themselves. They're the sort who collaborated with the Nazis, fought against the abolition of the slave trade, fought against the abolition of child labour and who want a society where the weak, the handicapped and the elderly are trampled under foot. They're less than nothing. A scab makes a fly on a dog turd look dignified in comparison. I would place a scab in the same bracket as muggers, drug barons, pimps, dealers in pornography, burglers, racists, arms dealers, con artists and other malcontents which are a feature of the capitalist society. I couldn't think any less of a scab than I already do. strike breakers and bosses - scum, every last one of them.

If your delivery office closes at before 7 p.m. arrange a picket to make sure there are no "out of hours" deliveries before the late duties at the APC go on strike. Especially good idea if there is a pub nearby that you will pass on the way home and which your missus will never be seen dead in.

Put it this way - If there ever was a revolution in this country, I would think nothing at all about shooting a scab/boss/fascist. It wouldn't trouble my conscience any more than putting down some slug pellets. They're an enemy of our class and should expect to be treated as such.

OK not gonna argue with that, except where you put down dealers in pornography, that's one of the main forms of currency in our office.
