Seems like they are now prioritising the queue, as the CPSU had been calling for, and then the problems were sorted. Still, job done by management - the thick members of the public fall hook line and sinker for their plan, the public servants and unions are demonised again, and no danger of the compliant media bothering to report the facts.

Half the people in the queue will only be there looking for a free breakfast soon.

The difference in public sympathy between this action and those taken in the private sector has been the most, pardon the pun, striking for me. When the staff sat in down in Waterford they were lionized and supported. When overburdened and pressured civil servants do the same it's open season. Complete media circus and shows who is controlling the media output.
