Actually I think the previous strikes brought them back to the table, but then Dave and Billy cocked it up and were blind sided by :lfo . Hopefully they have learnt their lesson and wont be fooled again. Also this tactic of attacking on 2 fronts is a good idea IMHO.

RM are still progressing there executive action even with the threat of strike if it was not for the previous strikes they would not even be talking to us at all. i agree with your sentiment but in reality it is the only language they understand it would be a huge backdown to stop now it would give RM the green light to force through changes we have nothing to lose. As far as they are concerned they are stripping the bark off a sinking ship. ALL OUT BROTHERS.

In a coversation with our area manager, the subject came to strikes. He admitted that the funtional strikes hurt the business more than all outs.

On my duty i've got 23 blocks of 3 storey flats to negotiate. Loads of stairs. From tomorrow, i won't be climbing stairs with more than 5 kilo's of mail. Loads of timed drop bags. I hop my manager has got enough petrol in his car to get these bags out to me.

Or .......... We can just lay down, give up our pensions, give up our jobs, give up our domestic life.


It is YOUR JOB, YOUR LIFE! You wanna fight for it, or just give it all away?

Just wish i could get the selfish arseholes in my office to understand the "do your job properly" action. All i hear is iam not doing it cause so and so isnt and i dont want to be the only one. All this has left me and a few others trying our best to have an effect. Ive provided them with so much info and really am at a loss to understand how the 20 that came in last time will carry on this time. I really do have 20 Forest Gumps in my D.O.

I was one of the few to cut off the other day, most will work faster to get it cleared. I hope this situation changes now we have recieved the literature from the CWU heres hoping....

also I agree with the "doing your job properly" is a better tool for getting what we want as we wont lose all this money. Just come in and work to your time, I cant see how anyone has a problem with doing that (except the genuinely lazy f***ers)
