Dont forget that percentage wise more Mail Centres went out on strike than Delivery offices, because in my area SHRWESBURY nearly all delivery offices worked ie OSWESTRY,WHITCHURCH,MARKET DRAYTON,CRAVEN ARMS,LUDLOW,KNIGHTON,OAKENGATES,NEWPORT-which is closing in about 8 weeks time(serves them right the SCAB bastards) THEY ARE ALL SCAB OFFICES BUT WILL GET THE BETTER PART OF THE DEAL!!!!!!

:mfo
Don't know why you think that you are going to get shafted because its a Delivery Deal. The changes apart from D2D, and delivery methods, will affect everyone and everyone will get chance to read and digest the deal and vote on it as well (as long as you are in the Union). Walk sequencing, normal Saturdays, SWW etc will affect everyone and therefore any "bungs" or pay rises will be paid to you as well.
OTH welcome to our side of the fence. In Delivery P&M07 was generally seen as not affecting Processing that much, but had a massive impact on deliveries and is continuing to do so.
Distribution got its own deal in 07 IIRC but I never got an overall picture if it was seen as an OK deal or a crap one so can't speak to that particular deal.
Also banging the drum saying MCs went on strike better than DOs is not on IMHO. In my DO we were 100% - 100% of the time in 2007 and 99.5% - 100% in 2009. In my area we had roughly 50% of DOs over 90% out and 40% with a mixed picture ranging from 50% out to 90% on strike, less than 5% of the Offices broke the strike completely. The MCs as far as I know never had 100% and were usually somewhere around 75/85%.
