postal strike

(1/12) > >>

strapping young lad:
first off im just playing devils advocate here and dont know the whole story so im going on what i know

how come strikes still occur?  i dont think holding the country to ransom is clever.

if i said to my boss, im on strike unless you pay me more.. i can see how far that gets me... out the door!

strikes in the thatcher era were commonplace but i feel strikes belong in that bygone era, if you want more money, ask for it dont stand outside refusing to work!

also do they get paid even though they are on strike or not?


i can feel some hostility coming so before you kick off, dont have a go, simply explain the process of going on strike and why get to that point.

Anybody going on strike needs to work how long it will take to gain the rise there fighting for

Me I am dead against unions next to usless IMO

strapping young lad:
all i can think about is giving the government more reason to privatise stuff like this

like in the 80's when we had the coal miners strike

people were starving and penniless, how is this good?

if you want more money and the job you are on isnt paying enough, then find another job..

i thought this was obvious

dazzawhipple:
Even if its sorted, it only time that a lot of posties will be made redundent

Theres a few people now getting annoyed with no post (wait until everyone gets a late payment charge on there Credit Card!!)

Deregulate it now!!!

Thrasher:
Hang on ... should I stop posting letters, or will there just be a HUGE backlog ;-)

Sorry but aren't the Post Office privatised - and as such it's like me going on strike. It affects ME, MY company and no-one else. Everyone else sees a lack of service and uses a *different* method to deliver their package.

Gone are the days that they were the *only* option. Sad but true, if you have a competitor and you strike,  you lose.

The only other option is that we pay MORE for the delivery of mail. Ever had to COLLECT your own mail, they charge you £1 admin and will NOT let you see it until you pay, and then find out it's junk :( Add to that the fact that it was not even delivered!!!
