Just to say good luck to everyone. This is some of the most inspiring action I've ever seen, and seeing all the wildcat action and the messages of solidarity on here has literally put a bit of a lump in the old throat.
In terms of the wild cat strikes where is the best place to go in terms of going to support the pickets? I know people who wanna go to and give support in:
Lewisham
Streatham
Lambeth
And what's the best time to visit?
Other reps I know are raising money at work for the strikes and one NUT rep I know just raised about £100 in his lunch break. There are a lot of other union members out there supporting you guys and gals!!

Good luck and whats the best sorting office for me to visit?

Thanks for your support - As far as I'm concerned, the broader the support the better 
I'm afraid I can't offer any advice about which place to visit, but I'm sure any show of solidarity will be appreciated - especially in London.

Your best bet is to start off with Streatham for wildcat strikes, but I can't tell when might be the best time to visit any picket lines, as I'm not from that sorting office.
We posties do things differently, but we still get shot at!

DON'T do Lewisham,they're a 50/50 office.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Thanks for your support. If your members are in support then you should be looking at your own union leaders. They have sold us down the river. Your union is going to have the same problems soon and I believe that by not backing us they have opened the door for the government to do the same to you. Beleive me that our dispute is the Test Case for all disputes. What are your thoughts?

Agree 100%
Our beloved leader (Dave Prentis) is such a tosser that he makes Billy Hayes look good.....
He already rolled over on pensions and we got an extra 5 years put on before we retire but you're right, they'll be back for more and are now saying we have to accept a 2.4% pay rise.
Until we get rid of the current crop of useless bastards at the top of our unions then we'll always have one hand tied behind our backs. If the current leadership of the TUC and the general secretaries were any good then the whole of the public sector would be out on strike now. It's shameful that the CWU have been left to go it alone so far.
