So how does that differ from other areas of work that have to work in the same conditions, roadworkers, farm workers, beat police officers, etc. Your delevering a bag of mail(ok maybe a heavy bag) not doing hard manual labour. Also, conditions of extreme heat and cold are rare in this country.

Sorry but i'm really struggling to see any credible reasons given at the moment other than: a) We don't like bad weather or b) Somethings changing and we don't like it very much(even though it may be for the better).

If I could see something like a list of changes proposed by RM together with a credible objection from the union next to them then i'd be a lot happier, but such a list doesn't seem to exist.
