"Postal Workers' Union Announces New Strike"
I personally think this is just getting silly now - these workers, should be getting their backsides in gear and stop moaning. So their pay isnt fantastic, but lets be fair, it's not a very "skilled" job sorting mail, really is it? Driving a lorry, again, not very "hard" I think, something needs to be done here. I'm sorry but the postal service is a complete and utter mess. It's about time, the workers, stepped up to the plate. There used to be a time, when mail would come at 8:30 now - lucky, if you get it before 5PM. This is stupid and i'm getting more and more angry as it's affecting everyone everywhere. Simple answer.. Sack the lot of them. There are plenty and plenty of People who are on JSA etc, who would kill to have a job, infact there are plenty of people, who in this current market would kill for a job. So I put it to you RM workers, that are reading, can you do your job you are paid and contracted for without this stupid-childish striking, lets be fair, it's pretty damm selfish of you all to strike around this time of the year. I mean, c'mon!

The strike
IS About doing the job we are contacted to do, its also about not doing the job the person who used to work adjacent to you used to do for no extra pay because he was made redundant because his job supposedly doesn't exist any more.
The last set of strikes in 07 where about pay rates etc, this time it really isnt. Though pay could be seen as an issue because we are being forced to take on extra duties for no extra pay its still not about rates.
And I dare you to say that bit about Lorry driving to a drivers face and walk away without at least a verbal battering.
