It does make you realise that there's maybe more to it than the oft quoted 'lazy workers, sack the lot of 'em'. It does seem that both management and the workers have some blame - and both are going to drive the company into the ground.

Without a doubt.

Royal Fail
 
Genius.

And may I add that all the crap I get from different companies I put return to sender
and post them back, that helps the PO as well. :)

This is why the service needs ground up reform based on a thorough and modern assessment of the purpose and needs of the business and it's customers.

Not going to happen though, it will find the service is massively inefficient and overstaffed, but because the staff are in the wrong places, some are made to work too hard, while others are just dead weight even if they do their job really well, because the job itself is dead weight. The union is not interested in any sort of reform, and suggesting the sort of reform that's really needed would result in a massive outcry and a massive amount of FUD about the postal service being destroyed.

The longer they go on strike for, the less junk mail I received and the less of this rubbish gets put into my recycle bin. Therefore, this strike is saving the world :D
 
Suerly if you don't turn up to work for a few days they are legally allowed to sack you. Why not just sack them all? I would.

We have so many unemplyed, how would it be hard to find more people willing to do the work. I doubt it would solve the problem because it isn't mainly the postmens fault but it would get rid of the strike.
 
also the cheques would have to recorded deliverly,see how they like waiting in all day,then you just nip to the shop and they have been and put a flipin card threw the door :D

Pay them by cheque and send it by post.

Congratulations, you've just ensured that there's only one type of mail they will care about. Everything else will be treated like scrap paper. Meanwhile, the posties' colleagues in other parts of the business will strike as a show of solidarity, even if the posties themselves continue to work.

This is not a winrar scenario, tbh.

They wouldn't have to wait; they could simply get it signed off by a team leader at the delivery depot and take it home after work. I used to do the same thing when I found mail addressed to myself at the state processing centre.

Do you realise what a logistical nightmare it would be t sack the entire RoyalMail workforce and then to start from scratch and fill all the vacancies? These are not 5, 10 or 20 people that we are talking about.

If we assume that we could hire 1000s of new postal workers overnight (which would be nigh on impossible), we would also need to train these individuals and given that most of the original/experienced postmen are fired, who is going to train these new individuals?

Also, consider the financial cost involved in sacking/hiring all those people. Royal Mail are a profit making organisation and for this reason alone, it wouldnt make any sense to sack/hire staff.

Mass sackings = very bad idea.
