It's nothing to do with the management it's called bringing the post into the 21st century, I urge you to look at DHL's operation at East Midlands Airport, they have invested over £500million on new technology at East Midlands nothing is sorted by hand anymore it's all done by computer and machine, the machines are that good they can read even the worse handwriting, they are that streamlined even the Royal Mail TNT, City Link, DPD all use DHL to ship their goods out of the UK and on to other countries.

UPS have also invested hundreds of millions of pounds on their East Midlands Operation.

The Royal Mail are after getting the business back from it's competitors and to do that they have to invest in new technology, if this means getting rid of the dead wood that plagues the Royal Mail then sobeit.

They will all be looking for jobs soon. However the union leaders don't have that worry do they, They have a job as long as they can get there members out on strike.

Personally i have no time for them or the strike.
The Postmen and Women will be their own worst enemies when the brown stuff hits the fan.

We've got some good ones round here but we've got more bad ones, the one that comes to my house is spot on, if I'm not in and there's a parcel that needs signing for he'll put it in the shed and drop a note through my door, I've told him to do that, the bad ones won't do that they'll tell me to go to the depot to collect it.
