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.

Im pretty sure those jobs pay a damn sight better than the post. Added to the fact its completely unnecessary. And I think you will find that the list RM seem to be showing and what the current striking is over probably seems petty to you but what you dont know is that it is this coupled with the long list of changes and compromise we have already made that is causing problems. Its like every time we agree to proposed changes and RM implement them they move the goalposts and decide that's not enough any more. I think if they would at least wait a couple of months it could be better received but that doesn't seem to be RMs style.
And who said bad weather? I think I mentioned heat and daylight. And before anybody jumps on the daylight thing there is a big difference delivering in the evening darkness as opposed to the current early morning darkness
