Re: a day off for me tomorrow
Disgraceful. Mail workers are going on strike supposedly to preserve their jobs. Huge inconvenience to the public, and no benefit to postal workers - going on strike will simply hasten the redundancies. Look what happened to the miners. How is the rest of the world supposed to do business with letters sat in letter boxes? I don't suppose that the strike leaders really care.

Re: a day off for me tomorrow
I have never understood the logic in going on strike 'to save jobs' - if a company is in financial straits or losing out to the opposition, how is striking going to help that situation? If the company goes under, ALL the jobs go.

Re: a day off for me tomorrow
It might do well to remember that people do not go on strike for the fun of it - remember strike means no pay. If the reference to the miners is in relation to the 84 action, remember workers were on strike for a whole year, eating in soup kitches and relying on hand outs, watching their communities be destroyed.

Re: a day off for me tomorrow
i know a lot of posties where i live and iv been told that royal mail have discovered a hole in the pension pot and need to top it up. apparently they have been asked to do households and work overtime for free so they can put the money back in.

Re: a day off for me tomorrow
this is correct, the hole in the pension fund was due to royal mail dipping into it and not putting it back.

Re: a day off for me tomorrow
they also want to cut basic pay by 25% they say we are all overpaid,
just yesterday the managers in out office all got bonuses ranging from 1.7k to 20k each, how about that for a business making no money. |
