I am with RM on this though why pay the same people that caused the backlog more money then they would have got if they kept working to clear up a problem they chose to create. I would rather it took longer to clear the backlog and no overtime was given to one of the striking posties then have my phone quicker by paying a striker. I am unemployed well disabled and unable to work so my view on people striking in jobs is perhaps biased as i would dearly love to work again.

But everyone i know that works has heard what the posties are striking for and generally the same answer keeps coming from them which is "welcome to the real world". This strike action is not going to get what the union wants simple as because not even all the membership of the union is striking therefore clearly it doesn't enjoy complete support from all postal workers so it's doomed from the start. All they are doing is turning the public against them and creating anger which is also the opposite of what you want with strike action.

If i were RM being honest the next time there are redundancies to be made it would be strikers names right up there on the top of the list to go i really don't see how this strike is gaining anything positive for anyone.
