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. |
Foreverwar, did I say that Posties were on the minimum wage? No
Webcrawler was making a point that they would take a pay cut for the good of the company, " Teamwork "
I was merely wondering whether that " pay cut " would be down to the National minimum wage if it meant keeping their job.
Webcrawler says No, so thats my end on that matter.

As I said, its not a very "skilled" job therefore the pay reflects the job.

How I would love to have your take on life Webcrawler
Do you have kids?
If so I am sure you have no gripes about that " unskilled " lady/man seeing them safely across the road to school every day.
That attitude is very patronising.
I suggest you read through some job advertisements, there are jobs that involve a lot more responsiblity that are paid less than I am on at the moment, the fact that they are on less pay does not tell the full story.
How much are Nurses on? Domestic Workers in hospitals wiping people's backsides, emptying bedpans?
Enough said.
