Well it was a bit premature brothermagrew, but you are right. I wouldn't want to be excluded from a fight if it came to it, I'm a little bit sceptical that it is going to go the distance but if it does I would like to be on the gate for one last time....but they'd better get a move on. I would imagine that London will have to go out..................the problem is persuading offices like mine and many others that there is sufficient meat in the dispute for them to support it.
How would you proceed in the circumstances when there are so many part timers and so many who are no longer in the union, when the distrust of the union is almost as great as the distrust for RM?
Don't tell Rocky...........mind you it hasn't yet come to a national ballot but I rejoined anyway just in case:wave
Try telling your work mates that with Royal Mail wanting only thirty Mail Centres in the country,your office could be one of those to shut,with compulsory redundency thrown in.

It wouldn't do any good me telling them our office might close, it's a delivery office, purpose built 10 years ago and neither of the MCs in this area are scheduled to close but if they do I'm sure there will be just as much support as there was for those in the NE, NW and the Midlands, don't you think?
Of course they were different
Some people have short memories , all the offices who were in the North North West mail centre review balloted for strike action and the results were a mixed bag , some no votes , some yes. There was a call for a national dispute. However in the end a solution was reached.
In the Midlands Covertry and Milton Keynes got a yes Vote. Oxford got a yes vote and Reading got a yes Vote.

So it does happen.
I'm sure they'll find a solution to the London people issues too.
The only soultion they have for the London mail centre problems is one similar to what happened to the escaped prisoners in the lorry in the film the Great Escape.
There numbers otherwise do not add up and they have not got anywhere near the numbers they needed to go on VR or to HWDC.

I was given a branch circular today, updating us on the current situation. So good old Gerry O'Rourke, "The Invisible Man" still yet to attend a meeting?

This is true , he has yet to be seen at a meeting to resolve the issues but likes his name on a letter dropping on our members door mats.
Talks on-going at the moment lets see what comes out of them.

You're talking the Final solution there dingo, rather melodramatic, don't you think.

I don't see the connection.
No, that's the wrong film, it's the one where the Americans win the Battle of Britain with their F14's and Tom Cruise I may be confused myself now
