Typical Union mentality. Not that you will be home earlier on some days getting MORE time with your family. But that you have to work later inthe day. Maybe even as late as 4pm. Wow. I can see why that would upset you. Like many I get up at 6am. I dont get home from work until 7pm. Thats the hours my job is. I also do some saturday mornings. So thats up at 630 home for 2pm. Hmm. Maybe I should strike. As I seem to be getting fucked over compared to posties.

So there plan is to stop our pensions next year,bring out a new pension and put a lot less in
Im no expert on pensions but lots of companies match your contribution up to a certain point. Of course you can put in more but then we;re Posties. So why should it be our responsibility to save for our future. Thats what the company thats operating at a loss (apparently) should be doing.

I would guess that the companies advertised on these flyers are PAYING to have them delivered. Consider the money going into your pension contributions! 3 leaflets a day. But thats really heavy.

At the end of the day you can call us lazy cunts get to work blah blah,the lads at royal mail work hard to get your mail to you safe and early, but royal mail are not interested in giving a good service anymore
They think they can rip our pensions from us and fuck our hours around they have got another thing coming
And yes maybe we wont get anyware but were not going to let them walk all over us,and if they do impose these things,i for one WILL be leaving and getting another job,and yes anyone can do this job it takes no real skill but there are lots of posties who take pride in there work and do there best to get your mail to you(believe it or not),were not all thieves by the way
Is it so wrong that we are fighting for our jobs and our way of life?
Then FUCKING leave the RM. Go to a company that doesnt do any of the things you are so upset about! But the bottom line is that ALL Posties are too happy in their cushy numbers. They know damn well that they wont get the same pay for the same hours elsewhere in the COMMERCIAL world. You are only trapped by your laziness.


Heres a link for you.

And breathe. Rich (currently waiting for a delivery that I should of recevied Thursday and unlikey to see before Friday next week! Cunts!
You might be ok with be fucked around, i dont want to be ,and thousands of others dont

Other public sector pension schemes are protected,why should royal mail be any differant


Infact yes they add a hell of a lot more weight to bags,and we cant use royal mail time to sort them into the frames aswell


There lots of jobs outside rm for unskilled workers that are better paid,working at tescos is better pay,i like my job so im going to fight for it,and its got nothing to do with being LAZY because i am not lazy,being a postman is nothing like postman pat lol



Well im sorry your having to wait for your delivery,blame rm bosses not us
and i aint no cunt
