Solidarity with the Postal Workers

Post workers in Oxford get a take home pay of £220 in a town where a semi-detached house costs £200,000 and despite the fact that the UK mail section of Royal Mail made £66 million in profit last year.
Oxford SA supporters were down on the picket lines on Friday night. Van after van was successfully turned away, with the mood determined. The Oxford postal workers intend to stay out until Monday when they will hold a meeting to discuss the way forward.

NB The above is copied from the oxford SA website. SA is a political party, so some
parts of the above should (I think) be taken with a tiny pinch of salt. ;)

Luv and solidarity to all the workers.

If you're going to strike, do it well.

I think if they are going to put people to the inconvenience of seriously delayed post (which is not funny when you are trying to send and receive job application forms!) they should explain why they are doing it properly. This strike appears to be badly organised and probably won't do them any good if public support is behind the boss. A wildcat strike requires alot more planning and thinking than they seem to have anticipated.

I'm glad they're striking

Seriously though, do those who are posting comments critical of the strike really think that, had the workers not gone on strike, the government would say 'those postal workers are so nice, let's reward their good behaviour by keeping the mail in the public sector'? Of course not - the attempt to intimidate the union goes hand-in-hand with attempts to turn the Royal Mail into a for-profit business. If the union can win this one, they're better placed to win the future battles over privatisation, and they'll have struck a blow for all public-sector workers.
