The problem is that not enough people do work to rule to make any difference to the mail, you know, come back to time, start next day from where you finished the day before, seat belts on all the time, walk up and down paths, instead of cutting accross gardens, just simple things like that would have much more impact than any of the other tried and tested methods.
I think we should have a complete work to rule and a series of strikes. Striking alone doesn't seem to be having much of an effect... yet.

However, enforcing a work to rule policy will be very difficult. In my office we've tried WTR a few times and very few people actually did it, though most claim they did.

There are plenty of people who are willing to strike but won't work to rule because they like finishing early. Some have 2 jobs, so use that as an excuse, others are just sad bastards.

I imagine there are a lot of other offices like this around the country.

How would the union make sure everyone is working to their 318?

What makes you think anyone else running the business would do anything differently?

I ask you all what would you do differently if you were in charge?

If the union members can go on strike without thinking twice about it, then why don't they feel like they can work to rule ? By doing so, it would hit Royal Mail very hard. I'm all for working to rule, bring it on guys, to be honest if the Union balloted for work to rule instead of strike, i bet they'd get a much higher response, and also more people willing to participate.
