[frankie]

its a bit speacial getting told when you can an cannot hold a strike.

[AdamW]

[Ben_L]

just been on royalmail.com - but it hasn't been updated since friday night

"After lengthy negotiation we are very disappointed that the Communication Workers Union (CWU) has announced more strike action starting on Monday 15th and ending on Friday 19th October. This action will take place at different Royal Mail sites across the country at different times.

Mail Centres will be on 24-hour official strike from early evening on Monday 15th October, and separate Delivery Offices will be on 24-hour official strike from the early hours of Tuesday 16th October. Therefore Deliveries and Collections will be severely limited on Tuesday 16th October.

Network drivers will be on 24-hour official strike from lunchtime on Wednesday 17th October, which will delay the movement of mail across the country.

Manual Data Entry Centres will be on 24-hour official strike from lunchtime on Thursday 18th October. This affects small volumes of hand-written, stamped mail only.

The Heathrow International Distribution Centre will be on 24-hour official strike from the afternoon of Thursday 18th October, and this will affect International mailings."

[Scattle]

[Ben_L]

[Noddy]

[SaxoJamie]

[AlexN]

the strike is off today but there is plans of a week long one coming soon.
and local ones also, tbh royal mail suck if u didnt know they got a %2.5 pay rise a couple of months ago and still want more!!!!

[saxo1510]

there are no further strikes planned at the moment

i got all my birthday cards and i live not oo far away fromliverpool where the unofficial strike is happening

judge ruled against it as above need 7 days notice

as for strikes every tuesday thats bull!

and as for the person who sent his o2 phone back and wants his replacment...it will come by courier not royal mail, phones are too expensive to send by royal mail...and courier is quicker :y:

so people yes post is back to normal for the time being!!

[saxo1510]

oo and somethign else...post will be delayed due to the backlog!

[Wayne]

waiting for alot of stuff off i have bought off the internet been over a week bit annoying.

[dsh85]
