We are still strong at wolves, there have been a handful who have gone in but 95% are out and up for the fight however long it takes :)

Just to say it pisses me off when the strike breakers say they go in because they have a mortgage to pay, SO DO I and the misses and i both work there and have no money coming in.
SCAB w*****s

Well i went down to SWDC at 7 to do my bit and found

Not a soul on the picket

i stayed for 2 1/2 hours not a single picket turned up

I counted 7 F/T drivers in, and about 20 F/T indoor staff + a load of agency

From what i could see they must have been running a 60% normal service

Apart from losing money and getting a sodding cold being sat there Fri/Mon/Tues night on my tod for hours fighting for these a**holes i'm realy disheartened.
Roll on next Weds i'll be out there again without fail and the week after that and again until this is sorted, i dont have a RM pension but its the whole principle and i've allready defaulted on this months morgage but thats life. I still wish we could post names of strike breakers so the whole service know who they are.

Even though I was drenched and had soggy wet feet the turn in was pretty low. I have terrible back ache and can honestly say Ive only just really warmed up. But I tell you something I will be shouting from the rafters that a union reps job is a thankless one. I only done five hours on the line - our full time rep and late shift rep plus one FT postie put in eight hours solid.

We were joined at several points during the day by staff and most stayed for an hour or so.

And I'll second that. I only stayed for about 5 hours as I had child minding commitments, but the reps have been putting in a lot of hours on the line. Every member should try to get down to the picketlines even if it is only for an hour or two to show support.

Preston MC still solid , even non member shifty sh**bag :little tories stay away. The usual 8 in including one whose been to Buckingham Palace). plenty of Polish at that s****** and they aren't good cheap replacements contary to what BBC/Telegraph Posters will tell you, not that it's their fault . You've A Dingle Dwarf running the place who needed another manager to run his section on the floor, and Mr Post Office the alkie SM and his " boys club" to thank for CWU support .

Yeah I got soaked through too, but it was a good feeling with the other pickets. Few strike breakers (though some were driven in the van gates with bags round the windows - w***ers think we don't know who you are?). Quite a few tv crews today.
Seemed to be less agency/casuals. Spirits are high and we're ready for the next round. Expecting a huge backlog tomorrow.

p*ss poor at my office.........only around 7 strikers. Issues do not really apply to me cos only a 30hr + not in pension scheme but felt as a union member I should strike with my fellow members. Now I know that most of them were working, I'm unsure whether to continue.

Its your decision but you have to ask yourself if you would be proud to go in or stay out. Also you will not be on your own if you strike everyone (well 99%) on here will be standing shoulder to shoulder with you, unseen but there nevertheless.
