Same here! My missus and kids back us to the hilt. Imagine the shame of having it said that your dad/husband was a scab?
I was 18 before I realised 'scab bastard' was two words. :wink:

There you go, pistol, shootin' your mouth off Image

No, seriously, I agree with your sentiments on this. Why be a member of a club only to disobey the rules ? To CWU members who cross the picket line, I say resign from the union if one day's pay is more important to you than solidarity with a common cause and unity with your workmates.

Agree 100% , w*****s like that who start folding after two ONE day a fortnight strikes , are as weak as water, and
would be the answer to a Leighton's , or Crozier's, dream. Tosspots. :d'oh! :d'oh! :d'oh!

its allways been the same weak people go on strike for a day or two then start to moan about everything any excuse to drift back.
if they want to go back and do crozier and leightons bidding then let them and leave the struggle to the people with a stomach for the fight

Spot on. This is also precisely why we should not listen to people who think we should take the slightest provocation by management as a chance to walk out on unofficial action ( see my post in another thread http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/forum/vi ... 6116#26116 ). The 'weakest links' will have just the reason they need to drift back and we'll all be up the creek without a paddle if that happens.

My mate has 2 children and mortgage no wife (divorced)he stood outside and supported the strike twice 5 hrs 1st day and 10 hrs the 2nd day and i know he will continue to do so, imagine how he feels when he see's people who have come to the CWU and to him for help crossing the line.
People who know whats is right support it.
Unity is Strength dont abuse it or you may loose it


If he can do it, why cant they?
