I think that will be a bridge too far.
Nice reference missed by many! I was trying to think of a witty response with either Arnhem or the Netherlands in it............
..............but failed.
WOT ABOUT...?
"the work has all been CLOGGED up????
And.. YOU KNOW WHEN A SCREW IS LYING... COZ THERE TU-LIPS ARE MOVING...
OUT
PS I will get me coat...
A "Bridge Too Far" was a film about Operation Market Garden at Arnhem in the Netherlands...............
It was a book and should be read to show how incompetent senior soldiers/managers can be (after all Monty claimed that the operation was 90% successful)
The author was Cornelius Ryan & while it is over 500 pages, it is well worth it, as it is full of things that couldn't be fitted into the film ( such as the small group of paras surrendering to the Waffen SS troops many of whom were veterans of Stalingrad, being told how good they were at street fighting, that they must have trained hard for it, only for a corpral to chirp up, "No, it's our first go - but don't worry, we'll do much better next time!"
I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?

a no vote dont automatically mean further strikes

SEAN38 or what ever i think u r predictions are quite honourable and TRUE but in return to your prediction I think the forces behind this movement are unpresentdented and given what is involved i think WE should move forward
and put R M insuch a spot they cannot retrieve from the worst time to go on I/A action as far as the Company is concerned is their bussiest and most productive time which gives them more dosh NEVER mind Public opinion because we are a business NOW lets not forget that USO and such likers go out the window when it suites I FOR one hope that this ballot says something to the EXECUTIVE and I HOPE THEY LISTEN here endith the surmom ha ha
Later starts are a result of pure jealousy. The DIMS know this, thats why they cannot answer any questions now.
Our area manager or whatever he is called (Pugwash) spoke about postmen finishing early and he nearly spat at us as he talked. They hate it so they bring in later starts to inconvenience us.
Later start's have been a failure in our office drop point's closed on saturday's so postie has no drop point when they need it posties getting abuse ( totaly out of order in my book should be able to never deliver to the address again!) the true competion offering early deliverly for more monney than before more early delivery firm's in opperation in our area somebody must be helping the other company's i wonder who it could be these two :cfo & :lfo !

I would like to know how they get away with it.
I think the unions in for a shock.
We all saw on our CWU notice boards letters going to Royal mail from the union, argueing against later starts and that postcomm thought there was no need for them. Then I get a letter from CWU saying that later starts were never on the agenda.
I think we couild a three way split. Management vs CWU vs workers.
i have to do my walk in a different order on a saturday as my main bag drop place closes at 12 !!!! i am not on my own with this problem. some places have withdrawn the use of their properties as bag drops' as we don't get our mail any earlier!!!

Well we have dropped high street bags at the same place for many years. A new caretaker came in and through the bags on the street on her first day.
She then moaned about post offices closing. Hypocritical minger.

Thing is, we all know that the xmas pressure starts in a week anyway. Xmas is already upon us, so to make out the pressure is just 2 weeks is ludicrous as well.
Those line managers and DIM's are going to be pounding the streets xmas eve at 11.00pm mark my words.
i wonder if they will want us to go back to 05.00 for xmas pressure?
the later starts in our office have been a complete failure with time locks for bag drops or for entry being closed firms going ballistic and cut offs all over the place. i am a firms driver and we start at 5 but we still have to wait for the work to be sorted to be able to get out which means we are getting out over an hour later than before!! Idiots dont even answer the phone or speak to the public who ring up and complain they have no answers and they avoid the public at all costs. WHAT A f***ing WAY TO RUN A BUSINESS!!
