I think most post workers can only dream of being on £15 per hour.
So are you willing to back up your point with action?
The fact that the country is in the state it is does not justify any company doing what it wants to maximise profit at the expense of the worker.
Particularly making people redundant then spreading their work among the other workers, out of order, full stop.

But posties aren't on the minimum wage, so I don't understand your premise? 
If you do a google on postmen's salaries, it tends to show that the average salary is approx £21700, which if you divide by 52*35 (weeks and hours in the week) gives £11.92 per hour, against the National Minimum Wage of £5.80 per hour.
And the dispute is also about modernisation of systems and processes.
