If they don't like to work for a living I'm sure there's plenty out there who would like a cushy job on the post.

As for losing the £25million Amazon contract it's their own faults, Amazon have got their customers to think about, if HDN have won the contract well done to them.
That is exactly what they are striking for; a living wage and conditons commensurate for the work they do.

You don't really think they are doing this by choice and your assertion that "they don't like to work for a living" is, quite frankly, offensive to all hard working people throughout the country, who take a stand against employers who attempt to walk all over the rights of these hard working people. They are not getting paid, nor do they qualify for any benefits, for the time they are on strike, so it is hardly a case of, "they don't like to work for a living," is it!
