Not questions directed at you Flyboy, just what your postie said.

Havnt sifted through all the post's so appolgies if this has been asked before.

What are the hourly rates for postal delivery people, both part time and full time? I know it may vary reigonally, what is the average.

Do they (the striking workers who back the union) think they are alone in getting a low wage?

I work up to 57hrs a week to make ends meet, I dont have an extravagent lifestyle, cant even afford a new (re newer) car. When I pop to my local sorting office to pick up mail I see many cars newer than 3-4 years old.

What is the maximum weight for a postal bag when setting off from the SO?
