i work for royal mail and im a postie in biggin hill, now if you think its an esy job, come work here with all the steps in the valley.
the strike isnt about a pay rise, there are strings attatched!
1. to start at 6.15 am which means we lose a £12.86 early shift allowence a week.
2. to cover a 1/4 of a round a day in summer so staff can take extra holidays, so thats an extra days work over the week.
3. the chief has given himself a massive pay rise and says there is no more money avaliable????
4. so its just not a 2.5% pay rise in the end.
