I have to agree with Steve H, with regards to a postie being an unskilled labourer....they should be paid a comparable rate for that sector, which from a starting wage might not be too far from the minimum wage. I dont claim to know what they are paid....but i would expect sub £20k per annum....maybe lower.

I dont see how you could justify paying them any more than that....having to lug around a letter bag in bad weather is part of the job surely!

Its also natural that managers will earn more....presumably they are more experienced/qualified and a higher salary is the reward.

you really should try working there ASM our managers are staff that have applied to be managers, they ask us (me and friends) to also be managers because people like me have experience of the job after all these years.
nowadays we get students arrive at Christmas to earn abit more money and then 6 months later they are managers not knowing anything really, this is why royal mail managers get real bad press.
a delivery postie gets about 16.5k pa.full time. the royal mail find it hard to recruit these days with the cost of living and increasing property prices, they cant recruit at all in London. if you go to the RM web site and see jobs, full time is not really available anymore they want people to work 4 hours per day, to carry up to 8 mail pouches, up to five miles, in all weather, for about 8k pa.
