Labour and the Tories won't be happy unless there's a complete defeat, so they can be discounted.

As for public support - when that's measured by the media, the public really means "business support" - like all those w*****s they interview who are supposed 'victims of the post strike' and most likely f***ing over their own staff.

Real people in the 'public' - actual workers, most us are facing similar shitty deals so I think there'd be quite a lot of support at that level. Whether that would translate into anything tangible though (solidarity strikes, support groups) is an entirely different matter. If things do go all out, then I reckon postal workers should be organising local meetings to explain what's happening - build up support bit by bit that way.

Stop being so negative, a total all out will sort this dispute out sooner rather than later.

If u want to split the workforce and bring the government in against us with a fury then all out unofficial it is.

30% of our 90 odd delivery office broke the weekend strike. You'd have less than 50% out i reckon on an unofficial in our DO cause many saying they can't afford it. Unofficial strikers will get sacked, union r out in the cold and RM will have lost it's 40,000 so painlessly thay will be laughing in our faces. We should try the cwu way first - we havn't given it enough time yet have we?

Tough call really.

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.
