Mags, if the workers have a dispute with their employer, do you think that the company are going to meet their demands solely on the point that the workers have the support of the public?
Particularly if all the workers had was the support of the public and did not have the right to withdraw their Labour?
Relying on public goodwill will do nothing to give the workers what they want, and how are the Government going to change Tact?
They will just say " Whats the fuss? the Posties are still delivering the mail, the public are out their waving their postman pat flags! "
So the Government will not feel the need to get involved.
After all, where is the point? if all the posties can rely on is the public/government and not the Ballot Box.
It will not put food on the table/pay the mortgage relying on goodwill.
