this morning at brockley sdo on our picket line 1 of our cwu members was threatened by a strike buster who 3-4 after entering our office decided to walk back out and threaten a member of the picket.
Now i know that if a member of the picket line was to do this there would be action taken but seeing as our manager (named removed by Teebs) has a few grieviences against him why is bullying and discrimination allowed by managers.

Re: discrimination by managers towards people on picket line
If RM won't do anything and there were witnesses check to see if a civil case can be made, or even the police to have a quiet word, but this would be down to the guy who was threatened actually instigating proceedings.

police - likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress by such conduct;
• to use threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour towards any
person with intent to cause fear of violence or to provoke violence;
• to use or threaten unlawful violence;
• to obstruct the highway or the entrance to premises or to seek physically to bar
the passage of vehicles or persons by lying down in the road, linking arms
across or circling in the road, or jostling or physically restraining those

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.
