Anger continues to grow inside the Unite union at the role of Royal Mail managers in attempting to break the post strikes.

Post workers’ picket lines were buoyed this week by fellow trade unionists bringing solidarity collections – and students who had come bearing cakes.

With a thumping 76 percent vote for strike action in the national ballot the leadership of the CWU union should be banging their war drums. So why are they busy sending peace signals instead?

The feeling around our office when news of the massive yes vote for national strikes came through can only be compared to the feeling we all had when Margaret Thatcher got kicked out of office in 1990.

Postal workers have voted by a massive 76 percent for national strike action. The scale of the yes vote, and the high turnout of 67 percent, will send a tremor through Royal Mail bosses.

The post dispute is at a crucial point. Thousands of workers took part in the 15th wave of regional strikes this week.

The postal workers’ fight is crucial for every worker, student, pensioner and unemployed person in Britain.

Why are those Royal Mail managers who are busy helping the company break the postal workers’ strike allowed to be members of a TUC‑affiliated trade union?

We are calling on everyone to support the postal workers’ strike.

As we received texts telling us of Royal Mail’s attempts to run a major scabbing operation around the country, many of us on the picket line last week were reminded of the 1980s.

What a pathetic, spineless bunch our managers are.

Desperate Royal Mail bosses are setting up secret mail centres around the country in an effort to undermine the highly effective strike action by postal workers.
