Saturday will be busy because the mail processed in the Mail Centres on Thursday will go out for delivery Friday but for obvious reasons will go no where. So, busy Saturday in store !

i can only talk for my office but it seems likely there will be mail backed up from this past saturdays strike still causing havoc into this saturday + fridays backlog because of that strike day.
It will be a simple work to scheduled hours day on Saturday with more and more backlog building.

The strike breakers in our office will do their rounds in our office on the Friday, therefore giving them an easy day, probably nothing on Saturday. The rest of us will work our to our time. :whistle

as will be obvious for management to see srtike breakers will have ability to absorb on saturday. if they are only saked to do their delivery of a handful of letters why not ask to be treated the same, no better no worse just the same.
if the manager give you the old well they came in yesterday ask them why they are treating them more favourably than you. Any reason along those lines will allow you the opportunity to go down the more favourably less favourably lines, this could lead you to utter the words discrimination/discriminated against.
Gonna give it a bash myself if i find myself in that position
Confused... You won't be, after the next episode of. SOAP

theyll just say something along the lines of "theyre just being asked to do their duty, same as you"
no need to get into this kind of argument as it can cause problems for yourself. Just work your hours as your paid to do, youll more than likely cut off anyway.

exactly, just face up to the fact whatever time your scheduled to finish saturday IS the time you will finish whether you rush about or not, personally i prefer to work at a fair pace and finish on time.
