CWU Strikers Rally 1 -- Mass Support

Dateline: Royal Mail HQ, Unilever House, 100 Victoria Embankment, London, UK, 11:00-12:00, Fri 19 to Sat 20 Jun 09 -- On the day of an opening skirmish in the class war, strikers organised in the Communications Workers Union (CWU) stage a London-wide 24 hour postal strike, and similar in several Scottish areas. Pickets at the massive London South Mail Centre report one extremely solid strike, and strikers rally outside Royal Mail's corporate headquarters to leave chief executive Adam Crozier and his boss-class cronies in no doubt that if you pick a fight with the posties, there's a very good chance you're gonna lose.

Many thanks to Billy and his manager Peter Jenner for permission to use the outstandingly grand anthem to trade unionism, and to especially to Peter for helping create a legal workaround for YouTube's zealous DRM censorship.
