Not I don't want too, and as far as I'm aware the vast majority of my office does not strike. However no one seems to know the procedure

Ye Trev going by your previous posts I can't see you growing a pair and standing with your colleagues, hope Ye prove me wrong next monday. you also said £8 an hour is more than enough for the work Ye do, that would be ok if you want to still be living with your folks into your 40's/50's and throwing your mum a bullseye for housekeeping on a friday.

I own my own place but thanks for the heads up. Instead of a weak trolling attempt, any mature people want to reply to my OP.

Trev if this is your best job and it pays £8 an hour as you proudly proclaim, I take it your mum and dad sorted out your deposit. You and all the rest of the not so well educated non members, should be oh so great to all them posties down the years who had the balls and the Forsyth to stand up for better T&C's.

I got a bigger pair by not striking and getting on with it the way the English do, or at last used to do.

you seriously need to educate yourself and read a few history books.

Trev, just go into work next Monday.
You sound like a SCAB so don't bother joining folk like me on the picket line, you ain't welcome.
I just hope you and the other rats who cross the picket line "have the balls" to live with being a rat for the rest of there employment with Royal Mail.
We don't need rats like you, hope you break your ankle on delivery.

Yes you can just turn up for work like normal, there will also be lots of potential overtime covering those rounds where people aren't in and are striking.

(for the moaners: I'm not saying this is what should be done or that the this is ethical, just advising what the OP could do should he wish). :crazy:
