Support the postal workers!

posted on 30 July, 2007

Why you and your SU should support the postal workersâ€™ dispute, and how you can.

Members of the Communication Workersâ€™ Union (CWU) in the postal service are currently engaged in a rolling campaign of strike action against their employer, Royal Mail. They are doing this because:

- Despite inflation running at more than 4%, they have been offered a pay rise of only 2.5% - a real-terms pay cut.
- Royal Mailâ€™s â€œbusinessâ€

I think that's great. It's nice to see the tradition of the student agitator is alive and well. The spirit of CND and the anti-Vietnam war protests lives on!

Hmmmmmm - grateful for the support of the NSU - not too keen on the CND and anti-Vietnam allegory - I was in the Army and in the far east when all those protesters were about and believe me it was a passion killer. When the chicks found out what you did for a living - you could hardly lie - everyone was walking about with hair down to their arse - it was good night Vienna - I even tried saying I'd just got out of prison!!!!!

They aren't skinheads - they've got long hair!!!! When I say short I mean SHORT - have you seen the film "Jarhead" a 0.5 is too long!!!!

That was the 'skinhead' look at the time. It was only in the late 70s when skinheads re-appeared they had their hair down to the wood. Apart from a spell around 1973-74, I've always gone for the very short hair and in recent years have bought a home barbers kit. Once a week on the shortest setting and the grey is gone!

I still have a flourishing full head of hair .............I keep it in a box under the bed for high days and holidays.

I left the army in 73 having married the year before let my hair grow, moustache pancho villa style and apart from the wife still had trouble pulling chicks.

The support from students up and down the country is most welcome.

I was at a gig last night and the students there told the crowds to support the posties with the strike - nice one!
