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.

Well neither will a failed company and no job as a result...and think how many companies are now using alternative methods of mail.My inbox is full of company emails from various mail order companies assuring me their customer, that they are not using Royal Mail anymore for deliveries..and I think as Christmas looms and busy workers who would rather use online services rather than go to the high street to get Christmas presents and then have to find a way to post said presents to family how many of the public will be still as supportive.
As I write this I have a strange feeling of deja vu.It's not the first time that postal workers have picked the run up to Christmas to turn the screws..
