are the unions doing themselves out of a job with all these strikes, placed an order with amazon today and for first time the order isnt being sent by the royal mail. I think alot of online retailers will be moving to other firms too. with the parcels deliverys gone the royal mail will be left with the less profitable letter and junk mail delieveries. With options now available for moving letters round the big cities will the royal mail be left with letter delievery to the sticks, where there will be no way they can make a profit on deliviering daily without a massive hike in prices.

My postman is Brendan Ormsby  football fans should know who he is. In thought one of the main beefs with the workers was they couldnt go home after the mail for the day was done with? their cushy number of having halfdays would end. |

yeah one of there beefs is they got paid per hour but if they were fit and active and completed the round in half the allotted time they are not allowed to knock off early. FFS they are paid per hour not per letter.

I think your 100% right iron.
They are commiting career suicide by making a failing mess of a company that is already hated by the public look even worse.
They shouldnt be aloud to use the name Royal.

So the people that do all the work should just accept the shit and be treated like twats? Oh and not everyone hates the Royal Mail. I certainly don't. If they ever disappear it's time to say hello to every letter you send costing 5 times as much, probably more. |

Agree with Evilpie Matthew Russllinho on this one. |

Yup. I know my industry is. The ECA (Electrical Contractor's Association) has recommended that previously agreed wage increases by the JIB (Sparky's Union) should be witheld until the economy improves. JIB disagrees and says increases must stand. ECA says fuck dat withold it. If I was an employee I'd be pretty sick about it. To be fair though if we have to give out pay increases there is a very real chance that we won't be here at all in a year's time. I'm certain that other company's who are in better financial shape than mine will use this as a lovely excuse to save a few quid. The recession works really well for people who are doing ok. |
