From the picket line









Striking workers at the Bromley-by Bow Mail Centre were in good spirits when I joined them on the picket line last Friday [10th July 2009]. The Branch reported a 100% strike rate amongst its members. The strikes which were taking place all over London were by all accounts very solid and a serious signal was again given to Royal Mail that the CWU members will not be brushed aside when it comes to the latest dispute.

It was an honour to travel the 12 miles or so from our headquarters and go down to Bromley-by-Bow and offer support to our striking members. It was great to see people’s spirits so high and Royal Mail will be in no doubt about the fight they have on their hands on this dispute.
