easy day really. told to prep walk for 1.5 hrs . tie up and then go sorting 'til 9.30 . 20 min break imposed. out at 9.55. prepped delivery like a new starter. will do the same for rest of dispute. only ended up with 2 bags . carry on like this we'll just get further and further behind.

starting at 6 o clock time was great.........NOT, when i went out all the time locks on the flats were locked, that must of held me up a extra 30 minutes to get in them. 90% of the walk is made up on flats

Million people either saying your late today postie or i thought you were on strike today. first letter was at 10.20 am last letter 2.45pm. Getting caught in the school traffic coming back home, i remember when i saw the little brats going to school when i was going home. i am claiming over time if they dont pay me i will bring it back every day.

We went in to all the frames being full and missorted by strike breakers but no mail arrived at the office, iwas meant to be phg but the dom fuks up somebodies day off

so i went out on a walk, it was heaving

once i had tied up my bags and weighed them i told dum that i didnt have enough time to finish the walk, he dropped the last bag off at the pouch drop box, 30 kgs worth, and it is still in there, he offered me OT to finish it, "no thanks"

On a walk tomorrow and he has brought back a tonne of mail as well, building up nicely as we are expecting quite a bit of mail tomorrow

My duty wasn't too bad. We stopped sorting on the IPS around 7:30am ish. Loads of the boys left trays and trays of flats under their frame. I took all that I had, as I couldn't be arsed leaving it all for tomorrow. We'll get enough junk in as it is.
Got out of the office about 10 ish and finished about 2:00. Didn't take a break ...Yeah I know.
It's just the begining and I expect it to get a bit worse.

Only had 2 customers talk to me about the strike. Both were possitive and in favour of us posties. Glad to see that the truth is out there, Scully....Yeah.

Managment must have got a whiff of our DO YOUR JOB PROPERLY plan went in no Mountain of mail just enough mail to cover the duty within the time....Everyone took their break at 9.20am then out the door just after 10.00am.. This will be story in our office as long as there is still a dispute.....FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT.

Well my first night back in Distrbution since the strike, Ignored the scab drivers to begin with bought 2 fellow pickets a coffee then after getting all my paperwork made a sarcastic remark to Transport manager as i got this weeks tacho's "dont need any got loads left from last week"

That went down like lead ballon.
Then after setting off 10mins late due to CORRECT vehicle checks got to the other depot had my 45 min meal break then loaded my Double Decker as to H&S -Check each york loaded correctly, Move 1 york at a time, Brake on each one, Walk back for the next, Strap each block of 9 yorks by the time of my departure i had 31 yorks on a Decker capable of 75

Then stuck to the speed limits all way back arrived 15mins late then a manager asked "why are you late? Wheres the rest of the work?" I just responded "National speed limits and in friggin London! Night Night my shifts done"

So i think theres a mail faliure somewhere or a flex bringing it down but dont give a S**T let the strike breakers at my depot doing OT sort it.

so instead of taking it easy ur rushing around like a blue arsed fly for them ? and will continue to do that until we catch up ? ur crazy mate ! dont do it to urself !
I left a load yesterday and yeah i will get a load more junk today and guess what, that wont be getting delivered either ! you might as well have come into work and worked through the strike if youre going to bend over backwards to get all the backlog cleared for nothing.

I certainly didn't rush anywhere. I just took all of what I had out with me. I didn't finish late and it wasn't because I sped up to finish. I walked at the same pace I always do. Remember "Not all walks are created equal" I was just lucky I didn't get an absolute tump full of mail. Believe me, I've left plenty of mailsort and the like before.
Also I'm in a relatively small office. Only got 30 people where I am.

I take your point, and others on board. I'm not going out of my way to help RM.
