Its spreading. The virus of worker's militancy has reached Bristol. Its only a matter of time before the evil forces of communism reach the principality. |

But we need some nice postmen to bring them OUT of the mad country, don't we? |
||||||||
|

||||||||
|

Yes, we should all go down to the picket lines with flasks of tea and chocolate Digestives and they will see the error of their ways. |

Too true, I was out reccying new areas of Barry to add to the scout xmas post last weekend. The kids work for free so long as you promise them new boats next year. No strikes for them... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it will stop them filling my fucking shopping bags. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

Funny thing is... the junk mail still gets through. No Spokes though. Every day I stand by the letter box and hope. |
||||||||
|
|

I'm on a grocery strike myself (lock out, technically). I sit in my car all night in the company parking lot. |

More postal workers join wildcat strikes More postal workers have joined an unofficial strike as the Royal Mail started sealing post-boxes because of a mounting backlog of letters. Workers in Swindon, Slough and Gravesend have taken wildcat action, taking the number of postmen and women on strike to more than 20,000 across the country. The Government is being urged to intervene in the dispute, which is costing the Royal Mail millions of pounds and causing huge problems for businesses. Malcolm Bruce, the Liberal Democrat trade and industry spokesman, said "urgent arbitration" was needed to resolve the escalating row. He wrote to Trade and Industry Secretary Patricia Hewitt calling on her to act to end the "deeply damaging" dispute. Talks between the Royal Mail and Communication Workers Union officials will resume later after being adjourned last night with little sign of a breakthrough. The Royal Mail started sealing some of London's 20,000 post-boxes today for the first time in several years. Most post-boxes in the capital are expected to be affected by early next week if the dispute continues. Mail will be emptied from the boxes before they are taped up and taken to sorting offices to join bags of other undelivered post. The industrial action began in west London two weeks ago but has been spreading every day, leading to a mounting backlog of post. Workers are also taking unofficial strike action in Maidstone, Essex, Milton Keynes, Coventry, Oxford, Portsmouth, Warrington, Rugby and Stansted airport.

Yeah I ordered too and forget about this. What I have been reading is that is only affecting England though, which makes sense. Now, what I'm trying to figure out is if some other group is actually coming and taking the mail out of the country. I doubt it, but who knows. |

ordererd a record from juno wednesday morning got it today. they must like me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

juno is in london btw, so either im extremely lucky or its not as bad depending on where you live. i was going to make another order with warpmart (my ankle is fucked so i can't walk or drive anywhere, thats the only reason) but there seems little point as its only going to get worse (the strike, not my ankle) |

Is it over yet? |

its only just starting... |

I ordered stuff around the time the strikes started. So it wasn't even like I didn't notice. I'm waiting on seven packages in the mail. One of them I ordered two fucking weeks ago. With a predicted backlog of 16 million items a day in London alone, it's going to take them a couple of weeks to clear that too. So some of these orders could take a month to arrive. Small businesses who rely on post are losing money. The London strikes are about pay - The Royal Mail is a company which is slowly losing money as it is, and now losing a lot more due to the strikes, where the hell do they think they're going to get extra pay from? "I know, let's lose them a load of money - that'll make them pay us more!". If they keep it up for much longer, people are going to start sending their parcels by Parcelforce or another company, and if they keep doing that, it'll end up putting half of these workers out of a job completely. That'll give the fuckers something to complain about. I'm in half a mind to hope that someone suffers drastically from lack of post and starts suing the Royal Mail, at which point they'll sue the workers Union, and they'll realise that pissing off an entire country is not the way to go about getting some extra money. |

Can I waltz into my local sorting office and demand that they hand over all my mail? Or is that not how it works? |
||||||||
|
|

don't think that's how it works as it need to come from the central sorting office in general and I don't think that there's many of then around teh cou try. |
