Russ, with all due respect, the liberalisation of the mail service is now well into it's third year. Just because
you don't find the alternatives to be financially attractive / acceptable does not mean that they do not constitute the competition as is.
You stated earlier that you'd be happy to give your custom to someone other than RM but now you appear to be suggesting that you're not prepared to suffer some short term financial pain in order to secure the long term sustainability of your business.
That's a decision for you to make and your customers will have to abide by the consequences of that decision.
Similarly the decision to strike was a decision arrived at by RM union members who
are prepared to suffer financially in the short term to secure their long term prospects. Consequently their customers and business, much the same as yours, will suffer.
It's an economy of scales.

I think it's the RM, but don't quote me on that.
