We’ve had 1 or 2 that have crossed picket lines previously that have now changed their minds for various reasons so it seems to be stronger if anything.

Our walk had no mail taken out all week so will still be prepped on Saturday with full D2D's with black Friday deals. On the plus side they'll go through the doors okay with at least half a dozen letters to most doors when we finally get round to delivering them.

ST seems to be doing a good job at making the strike stronger, the worry is that this is part of the master plan, as surely nobody is this hopeless at dealing with IA?

Strike and Picketing really solid at our office and neighbouring offices, which surprises me. Good Surprise.

We had about 10 cross yesterday. A bit over a quarter of staff - so not brilliant. Not sure what they did though There are parcels everywhere.

We`ve had a few new faces on the picket line, same strike breakers going in (the docket kings) plus three agency. If anything, our resolve has been strengthened by Simple Simon`s antics. :nana

We are still 100% strong and we’ve learnt that an old washing machine drum makes a good barbecue .

I’ve said this before, all you saying this is all part of some elaborate plan are giving ST way too much credit. He is completely out of his depth and needs to go - now.
