The big deception

[buzzer]

The trouble is that some people seem to think that Allan & Adam actually care that you are going on strike!

HA HA HA HA! They don't care if you go on strike for 2 days. 2 weeks or 2 months. I'll say it again. " They don't care!"
The more RM is downgraded, the more reasons to privatize and make a big fat profit.

When we go on strike we have to influence the government and the public. That is the only way. You are not going to do that with a 2 day strike. It's no good buzzing around their head like a bee. We have to give Gordon Brown a very firm sting on the nose!

We can try, but the reality is that nothing can be done now. We are too far down the track. Government aid is now illegal. Closing the market is virtually impossible now.
Only possibilities I can see is that RM will be broken up or completely privatised(not likely yet).
The delivery side may then be given some breathing space due to it technically being a new company.
Not much hope for the strikers now.

So you won't be on the picket line then?

To show solidarity, Yes. Well for a bit.
To gain public support, No. Waste of time.

Well the last time we were on strike,we leafted the commuters at the railway station at Dunfy,and got a very positive response,this time,mmmmn let me see,Gogs Broons office in Cowdenbeath,10 minutes away,big windows,loads o posters and glue,it could be a goer. :lfo :cfo
We just have to be a wee bit imaginative with our protests.

Government aid is now illegal

That may well be true, but other european countries are now legislating safe guards for there own natioall mail services to prevent the cherry picking of major contracts, after seeing what a debacle a "level playing field" we have here....Shame Gordon Blair can't do the same...To busy cozying up to the financial instituitions teetering on the brink of collapse for that to happen though.
