a strike breakers perfect day 4th November 2016

Post by Postie45 »

5.30 wake up, better not turn lights on need to save every penny
6.00 leave for work
6.25 arrive at work, get told theres only enough workload for me for 4 hours delivering packets today, cant argue as now im on a zero hour contract
10.55 arrive home, the Mrs is upset that im back so early again, get into an argument about why we`re struggling to pay the bills, i try to point out that i made an extra £300 a few years back, but the Mrs doesnt seem to be too impressed with that anymore....
12.00 Sit back watching loose women, and ponder how well Royal Mail is treating us, they dont owe us anything afterall, so we should be grateful for whatever crumbs they throw at us nowadays

Loose Women don't start 'till Phil and Holly finish at 1230!
Only know this because I've been off sick all week - Thinking how glad i am that we have decent sick pay, and how in the not too distant future it will just be a fond memory - people will be on zero hr contracts will end feeling obliged to drag all their germs in to work infecting everyone else and making themselves worse, just so they can afford the Lemsip or what ever the Dr prescribes to make them better.

Can the people who don't believe in the strike tell me how that situation is better for the individual, the workforce or the nation as a whole?

5:45 Phone rings - 'Don't bother coming in today, no work for you. Remember if you don't show up when we do want you you will be instantly dismissed for breach of contract. We might call you again in the next few days, we might not. Make sure you are near your phone, we have plenty of guys ready to come in if you can't make it. Got it?'.
