March

If the feeling about what is happening to Royal Mail is so strong ,rather than just strike , why don't we march on Parliament ?.
In uniform, with Post Office counters ,Romec and Sub Post Office owners and Parcel Force and the people who marched on London a few years ago about the closiers of sub offices.
We have to make a loud noise and make a few people uncomfortable and remind a few people just whom they are meant to represent.
I have a feeling that this may be our last chance before public apathy sets in and changes are made and all we can then say is "well we told you this would happen".
Let's do this right ,get the public on our side and show them exactly what is at stake and that it is NOT just a dispute about wages and modernisation, that it is about what is happening to THEIR service and what the future may have in store .

There was talk of a march back in August when the CWU were going to call a 1 Day national but it went bye bye when the "period of blind siding" sorry period of calm was called. Lets hope they start it up again soon.

I spoke to a few chaps in the office about this idea and they thought the it would be better to keep it local and get in the local as well as national papers.
This would be less disruptive to our customers and more press friendly.
Any ideas ?.
