I did my stint on the gate. not one person crossed our picket line, Stafford Nights 100% support. Very Happy Mind you the fecking managers did not even bother to unlock the gates. So anyone that wanted to work were effectively locked out.

They did the same the last time, and I sent Big Al an e-mail thanking him.

The CWU are of course pleased that local managers are showing full support for the industrial action by helping them keep anyone wishing to work, locked out.

With a bit of luck some manager is in for an arse kicking.

Its great having 100% support on the gate, even the local MP turned up to offer support, and there weren't even any press about

I think I might get up early and give deliveries a few hours support on the gate. Very Happy

42 members on the pickets out of 125.
six non union strike breakers

That desperate they conned two village ag's to come in and the rest are just t******s.
barbecue food might be a bit dodgy could suffer from 'barbie ass' later on

So the wise went to Tesco

A good turn out again.

Back up the strike from today tomorrow !! no cars, work to your hours and no running around cutting corners.

Went to my picket line last night at 7pm, needed some sleep so at 2.30am I went to bed. 5.30am I got up and went back to the picket line where our Area Rep was and I have just come home to pick up my daughter from school, then I'm heading back.

LOL, wouldn't care either, I'm on nightshift tonight at 10pm. First shift back in. LOL!!!

WHO NEEDS SLEEP

Just finished `picket duty` same strike breakers as last time went in. But they only represent 4.5% of the Office. I am very proud of the rest of us. Mr Leighton do you want round 3 ? If so lets hope the Union change the format? Well done to everyone else, keep up the good work.

Been around many units in Bristol this morning (not bristolchris's though) and the support is superb. All units have either maintained or increased the number of "stirkers".

Support is also growing for taking further action but using different more imaginative tactics to really hinder RM's attempts to offset the effects of strike action.

Lets hope our "leaders" at Wimbledon see that a different approach is now needed where we still withdraw our labour but the operational effects are much greater!

"(not bristolchris's though)" No, we had the Ace photographer, I think his next subject is to be, a photo shoot with her `Majesty` SO HE SAYS. I did ask him to check the quality of his `work` before he left, he went of happy enough, so it must be OK. We will SEE.
