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..

Without the tool of industrial action the public do not give a toss, sorry to be blunt, but that is a fact.
So they have to fight their own corner, by the way, seems common sense to choose the busiest time of the year to take industrial action.
Yes, I concede to your point about businesses looking elsewhere for their needs, but Royal Mail had 2 years to sort things, the last deal was sorted in 2007?
Sorry, but my criticism is against Royal Mail and the Government, certainly not the posties, exercising their democratic right to not be walked over.
