Manager said the initial rumour was an email from CWU saying he’d call them off then about midday said they were in talks so who knows who to believe … just to clarify

[Mungeys]

I think we'd know by now if he'd called the talks off, the union would've let us know almost immediately

My manager today said when asked, there is zero chance of the strikes not going ahead, the conference calls even today are all about gearing up to deal with tomorrow.

Based on the CWUs twitter post from yesterday it's most likely just going to be a meeting about what exactly Thompson is planning to do with the company.... so far it's been like getting blood out of a stone and the union having to go Inspector Clouseau on Royal Mail.

We will of course update you on all developments but reps and members should continue preparations for strike action on Friday and Saturday #StandByYourPost

No offence pal, but you’re a moron. Every post you ever make is completely full of shite so I fully expect this one to follow suit.

I think what we can summarise from this thread is that managers know f**k all and some of you guys need to think a bit longer before you post.

My manager said.. I can't f***ing remember because I wasn't listening to him.

My manager said....take your flipping lapsing!
