Perfect weather for a strike and for picket line duty!
Sun, and temperature around 10C.

Great turnout at Exeter City Centre rally with just under 4000 union
folk and families/supporters on the rally with all unions represented
including mine - PROSPECT www.prospect.org.uk . Many met Office
colleagues were with us too fighting for a fair *negotiated* pension
settlement, not a government imposed one. First strike in the Met Office
for over 30 years.

You are now paying the price of years of Brown's profligacy
particularly with the public sector.What proportion of your lot voted to
strike ie. as a percentage of all those who could vote? What about the
human rights of those who want to work but feel intimidated by the pickets?
