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.

Easily - it's not a hard job - sorting letters, therefore the pay reflect the level of "skill" involved. Whilst "driving" is not "hard" it has other downside, concentration whilst driving etc. All the usual old tosh. Personally, i'd sake the lot of you - your useless, can't do anything right for the postal service and cause nothing but hassle for the general public and business alike. Very selfish as I said. Again, maybe you should all just wind your necks in and get on with your job. Like I said, your very lucky to have a job considering this "recession" i'm sure agencies are happy to bring in temps and maybe that would be a good idea as temps you have "no rights" etc.
Being forced to take on extra tasks in your day to day job, is unfortunatly, the way any business survives in times like these. RM isn't profitable enough as it is. Therefore, the chiefs have to make "choices" i'm afraid. When I asked, the post lady what she was striking for. She didn't want to answer, which again, seems to be the general rule of thumb. So what are you all sheep? I mean, c'mon - is all of this "idiotic-ness" needed. Seriously? Or can't you all open you mouths and talk to your line managers?
