We don't see the armed forces going on strike, and most get paid less than a RM worker  |
I don't think they do, Im only on about 12K PA after bonuses. Admittedly I only work a 27.5 hour weekly contract but I work about 33 hours per week usually with the last 5.5 hours unpaid because my managers wont pay overtime But issue disciplinarys like they are going out of fashion if we try and work to our time.

Its like 3rd class mail, Its only usable by large businesses and such. If you have an M class you will notice a large M in the top corner where you would normally see 1st or 2nd. M class mail can sometimes arrive at its destination as fast as 1st class post but can also be delayed by upto a month (I think)depending on the specific agreement with the company in question though delay times are decided by management and not individual posties. M class is also optional to your postman for delivery on a Saturday.

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.

As I have just posted above it doesn't really matter, RM will still deliver most of it, and its not a free service we provide either so though a £25m contract may have been lost RM will likely still see half of that back.
Also we have been one of the test offices for the sorting machine and let me assure you it doesn't do a better job than us. I'm sure the next version or the one after might be able to but currently it doesn't so a similar amount of work still has to be done by deliver office staff to get the walks prepared, Unfortunately due to the large investment by RM they don't want to pay the same amount of hours and use bullying tactics to try and force us to work for free.

Unless you have put it in writing to the delivery office stating that you want that to be done the others are well within their rights to refuse. Because if you don't have a registered 'safe-place' they leave it there and it goes missing or gets damaged (especially if its recorded or special) they could lose their job. Though if they haven't told you that you have to put it in writing that is out of order.
