Just had my say on thier comments part, but my typing was a bit shaky I was outside DO at 4:30 handing out leaflets. Now to get warm and go back down again in 5 hours.

Seen your response Teebs. Very well put. I've submitted mine too, though doubt it'll get printed as it's a tad sarcastic towards all those whinging w*****s going on about we should all go back to work because their catalogue will be a few days late. Or the bright spark that said we should try working in a mill. I did that years ago and not once did I hear of anyone being forced to do overtime without actually getting paid for doing so.
The vast majority of comments on there are uninformed, selfish and ignorant, at best.
Anyway, rant over

Had my say as well - I am sick to the back teeth of people saying we are unskilled. We handle millions of pounds worth of letters and PKTs each week, and were expected to roll over and take it because we are ungratful low life. That attitude makes me sick

the problem is the public seem to think that its the posties who do a shoddy service..
nothing to do with the fact that royal mail couldnt give 2 f***s about its customers,and we,re being forced into doing a 2nd class service by management.

I'm a little confused , how can demands for Â£395 pw amount ,according to Crozier, to a 27% pay rise when he claims we are paid Â£440 pw now.

I think i'll let him know that I am willing to allow my wages to be slashed to Â£395 pw

Came away from the line at 19.00. Frozen but in good spirits. Strike was 99.9%. Still feel let-down by the calling off in August, lets hope that the top boys learned a lesson. No suspension of strike-action until a resolution is signed and sealed. I would rather go down with my ship than walk back into work giving the management carte blanche to do with us as the wish. Bring the day when they start snivelling for our support, and it will come. Our members should show RM how little their managers are needed.
