No the announcement has been made - consultative ballot for action against DSA in the new year.

And that's it? Talk about anti-climax..........action against DSA?...........beat it with a stick, ground it, take away its privileges Well not being a sere but I think I can pretty much guess what the outcome will be. That is definitely a "we'll take our ball home.....if we can get somebody to carry it" statement.

As for being a "Big" announcement ................well there is such a thing as over exaggeration...............I mean what bloke doesn't know that.

Well I must admit ft I got carried away with the moment - I was rather hoping for a "fix - bayonets - charge" knowing it would be my swansong

It's more a case of testing the water first to see if the troops are more likely to tell HQ to stick their bayonets where the sun don't shine than want to go over the top.
The first rule of leading from the back is to make sure your bayonets are pointing in the right direction.

I suppose the militant in me never died, if you're used to being in the frontline you're never too worried about what's behind because you'll always be moving forward......................I may have lost my way a little in knowing who the enemy is

What if we boycotted our managers for a day instead?

Now that mother is a winner - I guarantee it would be a 99% yes vote - how about if they combined the two

Can't see it happening, management would have a field day doing people for willful delay

It will be your guys that take the brunt of it i would imagine,not delivery.
Would be stupid to try to hold together a boycott in 1500 D.O.s when you can cut it off at source in 50 mailcentres.
Especially since most branches,area reps work out of or near MC's.

Wouldn't work at MC level
[*]No room to store it so it would stll be processed and sent out to DOs
[*]RM would just bring in casuals to clear it

All lorries (600 size and up) are normally loaded and unloaded by whoever is driving them
