this weeks royal mail strike

FYI

Thursday - mail centres

Friday - distribution (drivers)

Saturday - delivery posties.

Tut tut.

EDIT: To ellaborate. There are people such as my old man, struggling to make ends meet as he has had to take a pay cut, lost his managerial job and back in a support role, my mum doing 3 jobs because of this. And there are some people that think it's okay to strike because they're working some odd hours. I drove past the boys at Crow lane and gave them all the fisting shuffle.

Exactly what our evening collection guy said to me, last week he said he was going to walk the dogs and have a round of golf.

So that means my renewal quote wont turn up, my sim card wont turn up and neither will my exhaust bracket!

Why are they striking? i think they should be glad to have jobs in the current climate let a lone complain they dont earn enough money. I heard the union wants to take legal action agaisnt royal mail to stop them employing temp staff.

because they are being asked to do extra hours and duties over and above those stated in contract for no extra reward. with the possibilty of termination if they refuse.

I support them. as the unions are taking lega action cos those employed will also be paid lees to do the same job so there and equality issue

So what about BA, some aren't even being paid...

i think hiring temp staff is fine, the rest of us still want our mail while they are throwing their dummys out the pram, they are not the only ones with difficult jobs, if we keep it at this rate they will just fire all of them and employ the polish.

Which to be honest, is going to be the best thing, I have noticed in the past few months that the Polish work so hard and have pride in their jobs.
