Royal Mail Strikes for the Next Two Weeks

I'm sick of these lazy *****

It's easy to get a job with Royal Mail, the job it's self is easy, it's ******* good pay for what it is.

Fire the lot of them and get some polish in, at least they'll do the bloody job.

Can you tell my postie that, my neighbour has delivered 50% of my mail this year.

One day I actaully asked the postie what address the letter had on it that he put through my door one day, he didn't know, and there was the problem I replied.

OMG !!!

And to prove a point ...........

I got a package from HK via airmail quicker than RM can deliver a package 300 miles and it only cost 0.66p to send it. Then they have the cheek to strike? :eek:
 
Would it have had any effect on todays deliverys? I'm expecting a very important package by Special Delivery today and it has not yet arrived :mad:
 
I have to withdraw money from my NS&I postal savings account. In order to do this i need to send a letter off to them detailing how much i'd like to withdraw. Is there any point doing this today?

Its not two solid weeks of strikes, just a few one day strikes - woot.

RM have to close the final salary pension scheme to new joiners and change the terms for current members of the pension, they have to replace men with machines in sorting offices, but RM with try and do voluntary redundancy.

RM offered a 2.5% pay increase (i think) but the main thing is it ties the staff into modernisation plans that will mean redundacies (voluntary only).

The union balloted its members on strike action but said IT WOULD NOT ACTUALLY CALL STRIKES. The union said a "yes" vote for strike action would NOT result in a strike, it was only for a stronger negoitiating hand. Its not the RM staff that asked for this, its the stupid union.

Edit, and i think its only letters and royal mail post offices affected (not franchises). The parcel force staff accepted the pay offer so they should still operate.
Just been speaking to the wife of a postie and in addition to that, they want to make them do 2 runs (currently its 1.5) and start later in the day, they don't want them going out before 8:30am :confused:

Well if it doesn't arrive in the next 13 minutes, I am sure you can claim some money :p


Yeah but you have to write to them to claim it :p

If they dont like the work, pay or conditions that much just get another job doing something else its what most other people do that arent in huge unions.
 
so can somebody sum up that rather long explanation of the strikes in the OP?

They are not going to deliver post from tomorrow onwards , finishing the 8th? :confused: :confused:
