Next time I'm having a pint Liverpool, I'll head over to The Crown and if I hear a Polish Accent, the ale is on me for the lad!

Here's a drawing by Walter Crane, a scouser who knew a thing or two about Solidarity:-

I second that. The Poles have a proud tradition of helping us dating to at least the Battle of Britain. Fantastic to see RM defeated by their own prejudicial assumptions about our fellow Europeans!

Thanks for the link Sarge. You would think that after almost 70 years these managerial idiots would learn, but seemingly not.

No worries IWW. Yeah, looks like the old "Lets get some foreign wage slaves in to scupper the union" plan, backfired a treat. They must have forgotten that Solidarity was invented in Poland! I wonder what these Einsteins will come up with next?

Getting Brown to abolish the Child Labour Laws so as they can empty the schools and get kids delivering mail for 3d a day.

Yes they have. Apparently the rep is not suspended anymore!!!

I think most of the unofficial action has been down to the misinterpretation of the word suspension, managers were supposed to be telling members that their wages were suspended and not the postie/driver leading to a lot of confusion and a huge show of strength from our members which hopefully the clown partners Adam and Eve/Allan have sat up and taken notice of.

A big thanx to all the pickets who turned out at the dunfy D.O. this morning/afternoon who enjoyed a barbie and a lot of support from the public.Only downside was one scab la grade out of 180 plus strikers who decided to join the scab managers doing our work but hay ho im sure they will sleep soundly.
