I cannot for the life of me see a Royal mail as we have it now operating in 5 years time
Post is a waste of paper (carbon footprint) it should be online....

Hmmm...... not sure how we send a Mini indicator unit by e-mail :? :) There's more to mail than letters.
I have never understood the concept of striking. If I ever wanted better pay, I worked harder, produced more impressive results and then asked for a salary to match. Or I applied for a higher paying position.
The job market is self regulating in this respect. If a company isn't paying enough, it looses employees to other companies. They then have to adjust their salaries to retain staff.
If people working for the Post Office don't like what they are being paid, why don't they look for alternative employment?
Maybe I'm being naive or missing the point. If I am, I would dearly like to be corrected. As a mail order company, things like this influence our decision as to who we send items with. We pay the Post Office for a daily collection. I am really tempted to write to them (not sure when it'll get there though!) and question their breach of contract.
On the other hand, we are one of the few countries that actually have mail delivered to the door. Also, 1st class post arriving mostly next day is just about unheard of anywhere else in the world. To be fair, the Royal Mail have been operating one of the best postal services in the world since they started.

I have herd they are going to stop the strike for a day or two then go back on strike.
Whats that about. They started the strike why start it if you go back knowing there going to strike again shortly after.
What will be "missing in the post" after all this?
Not good.

Yeah, that worries me. We are getting occasional collections, but they tell us that it is unlikely to get any further than the sorting office :roll: I can see a lot of FOC stuff having to be sent out when half of it goes missing.
