more out - more clout.
totally agree but at the last strike 11 odd years ago we had a small number of guys who stay out for a bit then cross the line the following week then stay out the next time weird logic no pattern to it at all

but so far our office the strike breakers have stayed solid apart from a couple of young lads who needed a quick chat to explain the situation then they stayed out

but this time the general feeling is that there will be more crossing the line this time we shall wait and see

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

I fear they may not. Only a handful of strike breakers on the last strikes, did the union take any steps to throw them out under rule 14? No. It`s generally accepted that there will be more this time around. Could well be 10% of the membership if not more. No way will the union kick out that many, they`d lose too much in subs.

My area,my strike breakers WILL be dealt with after it has all died down,i'm sure it's an HQ thing as well.

everyone is entitled to fcuk up occasionally,it's human nature..however...you never get a second chance to make a first impression though,therefore each person has to be judged on thier own merits,there isn't a postie alive that hates sacbs more than me..however if i were a single parent with no other income and bare cupboards would i watch my children starve..i don't think any Father would in all honesty..but then you get the average greedy Fcuker who happily takes his weekly wage at the expense of his soldier colleagues,the former would be welcome on my line..the latter would be basted in goose fat and dipped in a pool of hungry pirranha!!!
if you aint payin..the mails stayin!!!
