Royal Mail strike breakers!

Royal Mail is attempting to break the strikes!

As you may be aware in our on going dispute with the management that seem to think modernisation equates to privatisation, the management have decided to try and break the strike by hiring 30,000 temporary staff. Whilst they usually take on temps around this time these numbers are nearly triple the normal amount, evidently the management is planning to play the strikers out of a job.

In another development the rather unscrupulous company TNT has decided to step in and offer it's services to Royal Mail in an attempt to break the strike. They are offering their staff and distribution network to do the rounds. It is unacceptable that fellow workers are not supporting their fellow comrades.

I plead with fellow indymedia users do not accept these temporary positions and jeopardize the livelihoods of your fellow workers! If you see a picket in your area don't cross the line, support it!

For too long the managers in this country have suppressed the unions and their workers, now with the prospect of strikes not seen since Thatchers time the traitors in the Labour party are doing everything they can to cement their hold on power by attempting to break the strike. It's time to show the management and the government that we are not pawns to be pushed around, we will not stand around and let them privatise our jobs to the highest bidder!
