They held back a mountain of mailsort yesterday,and told us we were to deliver it all today,totally against agreement.

We have also got loads of MS3 and the MC is full to the rafters of it (we are getting it coming down in bags again so the managers are cutting and tipping). It's now they will start to pay for cutting staff so much.

Big Up Boys From TQ1/2 We have stood ground usilly outside the office gates to protest our rights its sad but its the only thing that works. these people preach diversty on a massive scale yet individully we get treated like trash.
