Well if over 25% of the workforce crossed the picket lines....then the backlog of mail will reflect this when we all go back to work........won't it????
I dont' think so!!! the backlog of mail will probably tell us all that only about 10% crossed the picket line!

So royal mail can cook the books as much as they like! its still not going to shift the HUGE backlogs overnight! and so their propoganda figures will be blown out of the water!!!

A quarter of staff are ignoring the strike.
Well, any day 17% will be on their day off, at least 8% will be on holiday or sick, so that's the 25% which means all the other 75% are on strike, which, if I've got my sums right , means total support for the strike this time.

4 in from 64 At kings Norton D.O. Birmingham. I love listening to RM spin on these figures. Payroll figures are fake. Staff off sick who have a return to work interview should tell the lino that technically they were at work according to RM figures

Talk about overstaffing! During the last strike they had some offices with 90% attendence so now with 50% more they must have hired temps for 135% attendence.

See my figures can be just as bollocks as theirs.

Aaaaaahhh, I see the Royal Mail calculator is back out of the box.

Marvelous thing so it is, can turn profit into loss, loss into profit, burgeoning mail into dwindling mail, three and a half into four plus, forty hours into twenty, incompetence into bonus and hard work into no bonus at all.

We had a strong turn out on our picket line a few resigned from the union during the week but that was expected. also we had a better public support my office is next to a railway station and we have had a lot of commuters giving us stick (mainly because we nicked the parking spaces hehe) but today we had thumbs up instead of fingers apart from some w**ker who shouted out of his window "im glad your on strike least tnt dont nick stuff"

wanted to say yeah mate but we still deliver f***ing TNT shite but couldnt he sped off

:cfo :lfo
