I do not consider the privatisation of Royal Mail as a good thing either. It will force them to cut unprofitable services such as door-to-door deliveries every morning. Especially for rural towns and villages.
So the governments have made mistakes but none which justify the CWU undermining the very organisation they claim to care about and hastening it's demise.

They don't care about the organisation they care about the workers, who have voted in their tens of thousands to say enough is enough. Sometimes you have no other options and the only way a worker can truely make their voice heard is through withdrawing their labour and if that brings about the demise of the organisation well, who is to say that isn't better than the slow drip effect that's been leading up RM's inevitable future privatisation.
