Your right a lot of people can't get work so I guess that means posties should be gratefull and let managers take the Piss out of them non stop. Would you work overtime and not get paid for it even though your told to? If so then more fool you. It's good to see workers take a stand for what's right and fair. As I postie myself I don't liike going on strike as I lose pay and have bills/ mortgage etc to pay. I also don't like having the piss taken out of me when I go to work. I would also like a decent pension when I retire but I guess according to people like you that's too much to ask for.

Postal workers need to get out into the real world not that union led little world you live in which has led you into this mess. Anyone who reads the news will have read of the work practices going on in sorting offices up and down the country where staff who complete their tasks and have nothing to do will sit around idle and refuse to help other departments or if they do they expect overtime for it while they are still working their actual contracted hours! thats just one of many so called 'spanish practices' that has brought the Royal Mail to near collapse. I'd be happy to choose my own postal provider just as I do with my electricity or gas and let the Royal Mail compete on service. This is 2009 not 1970, open your eyes and see your union chiefs living the good life off your backs while their actions slowly help destroy the mail service.
