I did.... I take it none of them can leave and go and get another job if they dont like the wages or pension?

Sometimes the problem is EVERYONE thinks they should be on fantastic wages.

I understand their revolt on those further up the chain getting more money but surely that happens in every job and most people just suck it up..

The fact they work for Royal Mail does not give them the right to strike because of it. If there really is a problem with working conditions then striking isnt going to solve it.. There are plenty of companies lining up to take the role of the royal mail on and these guys could end up regretting any strike action they take.
 
Anyone who strikes these days is forced into by having their rights taken away, their contracts ripped up, their workload increased as their pay is frozen or cut.

If you make a total c*nt like Lord Mandelson "beyond angry", then you are obviously making the right moral decision. Sadly though, the postal workers will get fucked over and "Sun" readers and other thickoes like half the people on here will be glad to see it.

I see staff getting exploited and shafted every day and they just let it happen, cos they just want to pay the mortgage whilst their bosses coin it in and plead poverty and "ooh it's the recession".... It makes me seethe, the apathy of the crushed people of Britain.

Good luck Posties. I for one am with you.
 
My company no longer reconises lenght of service when it comes to redundances, is this the nom now..
 
Apparently the Royal Mail are not arsed about doing any checks on people who want the temporary postman jobs ........ one applicant said he was offered a job in less than 15 minutes the other day!

I worked for Royal Mail/Romec for 24 years , finishing in 2002 ...... they were always pushing their luck with us even then ...... striking (and waving placards) was part of our make-up , only trouble being it always seemed to happen in cold weather!

My favourite song used to be the Strawbs ...... 'you won't get me i'm part of the union'!

this is beyond a single issue now-every employer is stealing pensions,making us work longer for less

the demand being

a 30 year working life 30 days leave 30 hour week
