Please will somebody enlighten me as to why the overpaid monkeys are striking this time?
I'm sick to the fucking teeth of them striking, it means I don't get my usual feed of paperwork etc! I'm fucked if I am paying special delivery prices or for a courier.
Fair enough if they got paid minimum wage but fuck me, my mate is a postie and he has more gold than Mr fucking T.

Your not a postal worker theN??-DIDNT THINK SO-Do your homework before you comment, people in everyday life get shit on by companies making millions and renaging on agreements,
one of the reasons this country is fucked(ONE OF MANY) is because we get walked on, seen your bills recently?? Who gave all the cash to bail the banks out last christmas??-and what did they do??honour there commitments to pay for bonuses and f-g christmas parties,
we accept so much shit day after day,you old enough to remember the 3 day week??? No didnt think so--you consider how did you arrive at your rate of pay your on now??? Who fought for a minimum wage????
Just think before putting your mouth in gear.

they forget that people working in the private sector dont get annual pay rises every year, 17k for walking round streets putting letters through doors, hardly rocket science is it, paid more than nurses FFS

Agreed. As soon as they win their battle (like national rail did) all of the unions will jump on the band wagon. Let em strike, sack em and give the jobs to the unemployed who have tried hard to get jobs and would appreciate it.

I think the postal workers are a pain in the fooking arse full stop, 5-6 years ago post would arrive early in the morning but now im lucky to get it before 1 in the afternoon, they constantly lie when you have parcels, stick a card throught he dooe saying "you were out when we called" bullshite they cant be fucked to carry the parcels thats all i have seen them do this a few times now. Ł17000 pa is ok for what they do, its hardish work but what do they expect for a completly unskilled end of the line job, my attitude is you start a job and accept the pay so why moan 6 months later.

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
In a nutshell they have been milking the system for too long. They bust there ass and get their rounds/jobs done early and then pick up overtime for other jobs WITHIN their normal contracted hours or going home!
The managements idea of modernisation is that if they can do the work in the time then thats how it will be, no overtime. They've identified that it can be done so are enforcing it. People are losing jobs as a result because the work can be picked up by others at a saving to the company.
The unions are encouraging them to strike without pay! Thats how fucking stupid it is! All these people supporting the union need to look at themselves good and hard. I for one wouldn't lose pay to strike. Earning a wage for my household and staying in a job is far more important. The countries in the shit if we roll over and give in to the unions entirely. They have a place as a voice for the workers but surely anyone with sense can see that they are doing no good in this case. Who is it helping?????
Another case of the country being held to ransom. Plenty of companies all over the country are making their staff work harder, if staff leave or are made redundant to save some money the staff that are left have to pick up the work thats left.
It is a business after all not a fucking charity. There are companies waiting to pick up the pieces. By striking they will play into their hands.
People do want the jobs too, look at the response for the temp staff to clear the backlog.
Like many people me and the mrs are in the private sector, we've not had an annual payrise for over 18months. My trade is slack some days and at the minute i lose about Ł120 a month because i'm not getting the hours i used to and my mrs is under threat of reduncancy. Some days are properly fucking hard but i'm grateful to be earning still i don't go whinging to my boss, its his business and at 61 he's doing about 70-80 hours a week so we can run at the bare minimum staff he's already aware of the problems we have. I get shit from him regularly just like my staff get it from me. Its how the heirachy works.
Makes me sick when these fuckers lay it on thick about being hard done by, suck it up and be grateful your earning a wage still.I don't care if people agree here or not these are my views on it and i stand by them.

no more Granada's for me
From what i understand they are striking because they used to get paid for 8 hours yet if they finished earlier they would still get eight hours, but now they have to work the full 8 hours.. well tough shit is what i say, all they are doing by striking is losing royal mail business, and it won't be long before royal mail doesn't exist at this rate, its all fine for these people to do this, but when they have to go for a job with another company that eventually takes over royal mail they will probably not get a job because they will all be seen as trouble causers. there just a bunch of fuckin moaners if you ask me, it gets me that there is so many people with mortgages out there that can't get work at the minute an there puttin there jobs at risk, fuckin get back to work an stop holding the public to ransom. why do we have to suffer for there problems, it ain't right, sack the lot of em

what gets me is our government has no backbone, many years ago the president of the usa famously sacked somethin like 11,000 air traiffic controllers because they refused to go back to work, thats backbone for ya, i don't see gordon brown doing that, i think there's a lot of golden handshakes going on at royal mail at the minute.

At the end of the day this stike is damaging Royal Mails position even more as there is zero sympathy with it and people are going elsewhere. You would think the union was in on the demise lol.

Theres little reason for people to jump down my neck, I stated that I needed englightening so thankyou to those who did that and a swift go fuck yourself that cried their eyes out because I said something they didn't want to hear
I also don't need the shite about minimum wage as I am self employed. My job isn't as easy as to walk round shoving shite through letterboxes.

Of course they get paid loads in comparison to other jobs, my mum is a Nurse, she is a lifesaver and gets paid less. She is responsible for a good 100 people that walk through her door everyday and does not get paid anymore than Postman Pat. I thought life was relative... Fucking bullshit, as somebody has informed me above it's down to them milking the system. Looks to me like they got into a routine of milking the system and now they are fucking gutted that Royal Mail actually want them to work for their money.
