Hmm.. Don't see many postmen working 80+ hours a week, and I live two streets away from the local sorting office (I would notice, they use my street as a free car park).,

The royal mail are obviously not short of money, looking at their recent actions, taxi's for scabs etc.

The guys pay their union subs they're entitled to their rights.

They are. The customer is also entitled to a decent service.

Rizzi, can the hospital not find other ways of delivering your appointment card? plenty of private couriers out there.

So, an NHS that already has massive funding shortages should use couriers to do something that the Royal Mail is already supposed to be doing?

If the Royal Mail want the Backlog cleared they should pay them the going rate regardless of the action.
Or the Posties could just work their normal hours which will mean longer to clear the backlog.
If I work overtime I like to be paid for it.

Why should they be rewarded for clearing a backlog they caused? If I cause a backlog of my own work, I am expected to clear it with no reward.
Would you be paid overtime to clear a backlog of work you caused? If no, why should the Royal Mail be any different?
