postal strike
strapping young lad:
post in our new house is usually there by 9am but in the old house you could be having afternoon tea before it turns up
Drift:
Some have called unofficial strikes today :roll:
Taken from the BBC.
--- Quote ---He explained that the wildcat strikes were triggered by new Royal Mail rules, which they had not consented to, that prevented workers from starting work before 0600 BST and leaving before 1415 BST.
Flexibility
Historically, most postal workers begun their shift between 0500 BST and 0530 BST and were free to go when they had finished their round.
Mr Wall argued this loss of flexibility, and not pay, was the reason why he was on strike and said that he believed that was the case for most of his Royal Mail colleagues.
"The current Royal Mail management introduced this concept of flexibility when they were appointed," said Mr Wall.

It looks like they want to keep their job and finish tradition.
If they are paid 8 hours, why not expect to work 8 hours :evil:
