Is your office picketing ?

[luddite]

I'll picket despite our office been closed if only at the normal start time. If the people who decide to work are being transported to the LAT centre by the managers as has been told to us I would like to see who I'm not saying good morning to the next day.

[Dorset Plodder]

that is shocking it is just basic respect for fellow colleagues workers that one for all and all for one.

I agree and have great difficulty trying to get my head around their atitude, and actions. This guy always says, "I don't agree with Striking, but I'll be voting Yes"!

The Rep just says, "Don't bother .... you just vote NO because all you're doing is voting for everyone else to lose a days pay while you just please yourself.... but you'll be happy to take any Payrise, or Extra Benefits that all your colleagues get for you through taking IA"!

I do remember years ago (different Office) when we went out and I came into work the next day to one colleague saying, "Well that was a quiet day yesterday, we didn't have a lot to do so we went home early"! I asked him if he'd come into work then on a strike day He was really shocked that I told him, "Don't you EVER bother to talk to me about ANYTHING EVER again." (Obviously not allowed to use the "S" word)

There’s a guy in my office who’s already been called a scab twice by members of the public shouting from their cars/vans. A huge chunk of the general public really are thick aren’t they? They read on social media that we are going on strike then assume it’s immediately.

And all the people who think we'll be off for months like the Miner's Strikes of old.

I keep telling them, "Don't get too stressed we're only going to be off for a day or two a week at most, you'll still get your mail just a bit later"!

Oh I’ve already had that ‘but it’s my birthday soon, does that mean all my birthday cards will be returned?’.....no it means they’ll sit in the frame just like they would’ve done anyway, unless any are tracked of course.

Anyway, going to the local railway station to shout scab at train drivers for a few hours. I assume they are on strike for months if not years now

Everyone I spoke to thinks it's a day off or they've arranged something cash in hand to cover for no pay. COME ON TEAM.

There is no "I" in TEAM ....... But there is an "I" in Idiot (and Simon ... both the same really)!

[kookoo32]

I'll be on the line. The first one falls on my day off but I'm going to be there. I kind of feel bad that I'll be getting paid so might nip to Poundland before hand and buy some biscuits or something for everyone that turns up.

[Chelseablue]

Woody is right if you think the jobs awful just now, wait till all our terms and cons are gone . If you moan about it and dont support your fellow workers youlle be ignored . You wont have a life if you let Simon and co do what they want. If your happy with that somethings wrong with you.

[DirtyHarry]

Have to say if you don't strike you better get ready to spend the next 20 years with your mouth shut because you've just lost the right to complain about anything.

No moaning about workload or being out in the sun too long or the pay being crap or agency staff taking all your overtime or managers bullying you or no sick pay or how you've got a dodgy knee now and nobody gives a s**t, no moaning about how you keep getting bumped off your duty or how your little office is closing now and you're getting pumped to an industrial estate with another three offices or how your favourite aunt just died and they won't give you the funeral off or how you can't get any days off at all and your summer holidays are in March.

That's the decision you make when you undermine the collective bargaining position, you decide to accept everything, all of it, all the s**t that flows your way.

It's your choice but after you do nobody is listening to your whining anymore.

This, with bells on.

[Seymour Buts]

There's a group of us gonna turn up for a bit then go to the pub. May aswell make the most of it.

[bluempl]

Listen to woodie, be very afraid of the consequences if we fail to defeat the evil upon us. This really is the crux ,we lose to RM hierarchy, without bargaining for less severe terms and conditions it's the end of the job as we all know it, follow the union to the end please we all need to come together to fight for our future terms and conditions. Power to us the real workers of a great company Royal Mail, ....................

Fully agree with this. Now is the time to stand together and stand firm

[2yearpostie]

Office of 30, 10 striking, 15 not striking, rest undecided.

[Kenfandango]

The public don't know how it's working, as the last strike they remember resulted in mail piling up in containers and eventually being destroyed. Can't blame them for being worried

Should be copied and printed out and put up in every Royal Mail premises
