Tell your DOM Book of Genesis, Chapter 8, verses 17-18 ( Go forth & multiply ) - not even McDonald's exploited their staff like that when I worked there!
I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?

J. your DIM is B/S you the postal regulator has told R/M they do not have to adhere to there USO obligation and we can have boxing day off.

If we do end up working it ,it will only be because R/M are pissed off with us for striking can they really be that selfish YES YES

I think this has happened before and we ended up working extra hrs the week before so we could get the extra day off. :sad:

I'm already planning for that and I can really see it happening, although they will probably dangle it like a carrot to end the strikes.
