Excellent. Keeping the pressure on RM and building up the backlog all the time.

That'll be 6 strike dates, none of which have fallen on my day off. Yet my work colleague next to me will have had 2 of the 6 falling on his day off saving him Â£120. This can't be fair to all.

I also have a feeling that if it is your day off then RM count you as being at work - they still pay you for it.

Perhaps that is why all their attendance figures are out, that have 17% of people on their day off and 10% on annual leave - that is about 25% of people not crossing the picket line but still getting payed. It only takes a couple more in a small office to make 60%

Is that a cunning plan by RM? Deliver what they can to RM employees and make them think they are the only one on strike :)

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr........... our office misses out on the Sat/Fri strike days cos we go out with the Mail Centre in Coventry but I'm happy to see a continuation of the waves of industrial action until RM cut all those strings.

I certainly DO NOT want to start @6:15am, see mail being delivered later or work longer on Saturdays.
