Last Thursday at a meeting between CWU reps and management there was ample opportunity for management to disown and fire those casuals who were responsible for the bullying. Instead they have been given contracts, loads of overtime, and were scabbing away inside the sorting office while the rally was going on.
Representatives from the FBU, Unison, NUJ and the Trades council brought messages of solidarity to the postal workers at the rally. It is recognised that this dispute is about the right to organise to defend human rights at work, and that what is at stake is the union itself and the future of public services in general. The strike has spread to the Headington office, and other offices are likely to come out in support. There is no justification for the harassment which is being meted out, or for the cowardice of the management for supporting and rewarding the bullying tactics.

I realize that passions run high about this issue, but calling people names doesn't improve the quality of an argument. It's also kinda dull to read.
If your ideas are that strong, then they can stand for themselves without you needing to slag off holders of opposing ideas. Even if you do think they're full of shit :-).
