postal strike
strapping young lad:
but isnt breaking the picket line more or less condemning you to be ostracised from your colleagues?
even though you want to work you have to stand outside

My point exactly. I cannot see anything but grief coming from this.
Evilgoat:
Sorry the Post office arew on Strike??? Err, how do I tell as the service I normally get from them is so dire anyway.
post *might* turn up once a week, if it does, its normally a huge wad of junk mail and a few bills anything up to a week late. It got to the point I was going to screw the letterbox in the door shut to get the posman to use the box screwed to the wall that he had to walk past to get to the door. (Dog eats post)
As for sending, out of 18 items sent through ebay
8 arrived when they should have
4 were held at the PO as they messed up and hand charged me enough. They were waiting for me to go back in to get it sorted, so they were a week late! 2 went missing completely (one has subsequently arrived 2 months late) and tracking numbers didnt exist. and 4 arrived smashed to peices.
People will choose the best service available for a given price, moment someone starts taking post other than Royal Mail they are screwed.
Its the same all over BT more or less have a monopoly and have NO customer service. Same with the banks. We put up with this rubbish though so nothing will change. Oh and prices will probobly go up again next year.
This kind of behaviour is only tolaerated as Royal Mail are an ex public organisation, they are used to stamping their feet and getting their way as it always worked in the past, now things are just falling apart.
Sack all the ingrates that think they should be paid more for underperforming and keep the guys that actually can do their jobs.
And fast, because if Capita get involved its all over but the crying.

We are still getting deliveries. It's only the afternoon collections that are affected. Our postman takes the view that he cannot afford to loose 4 or 5 days pay so he carries on. He also take the view that striking has never worked before and how do they think it'll be any different this time? I don't know what his colleagues think of it though. Maybe I'll ask him tomorrow.
