Surely, you can see that if the strike is successful, yo are not going to lose as much as you did before. The reasons for the strike, is the cause of you losing things in the post; antiquated working practices and poorly trained, paid and motivated staff are just a couple of reasons.
You seem to be of the opinion that we're saying they don't have reason to be unhappy.

No-one is saying that.

But am I to have sympathy for or even support those whose action is inconveniencing me? Especially when nothing I can do can change their situation? Especially when someone like Amazon seems to have a similar view as myself and has caused them to lose money by having a major contract dropped?

I hope more companies follow suit like Amazon. Run the RM in to the ground and get other companies to offer a delivery service. Any laid off workers could apply for the new positions, they'll have the experience.
