So how many of you are screwed because of Royal Mail staff taking ANOTHER "strike"?

There are employment laws against employers doing that but sadly there are no laws against the practices the union's demand and thats expecting to be paid overtime when simply asked to help another department whilst actually working normal contracted hours and it did go on regularly. When the management tried to change that you guys went on strike..again. That seems to be the only course of action you guys know and its no wonder the public lose sympathy for your cause. I've lost no end of mail and so its no surprise to me that the international company my partner works for no longer uses the Royal Mail but opts for a private courier because of the ammount of important mail going missing. As fo the comment about the media, you passed this comment: "I see first hand what goes on within Royal mail, not just what the media tells me"

But to also stay on topic no my IL-2 was not held up by the mail strike because I sensibly opted to buy it locally for a few pounds more but my copy of Supercar Challenge which was suppossed to arrive Friday finally turned up today.

Nice try but too late for you to back pedal, you quoted my post where I referenced people reading the news about the so called 'spanish practices' then went on to say "I see first hand what goes on within Royal mail, not just what the media tells me" Its quite clear what you were implying

Good luck with the tribunal though if its true what the managers were trying to do, as I said you have employment laws on your side to fight that and no real need to strike every time the wind changes.
