Resolved Question

What is is with the Royal Mail employees?

These work dodgers go on strike at the drop of a hat and they've damaged the Royal Mail so badly over the years that they've permanently lost loads of business. No yet again they're balloting for another nationwide strike! Way to go peeps you're all gonna put yourselves out of a job soon!

I agree, their over-zealous millitancy will bring down a company already on its knees. The balance between the union and the corporation has swung too far, and the staff think they can keep holding cash strapped management to ransom, for over the odds wages.

The amount of post delivered to my house by UPS and DHL is growing year on year. Soon all the profitable areas will be taken from RM, and they will fold. People in rural areas will then have to pay a fortune to receive post.

Go back to work people!

• I don't know what the admin staff are paid but I do know that the postmen themselves aren't particularly well paid for the job that they do. But striking isn't the answer as it just turns the public against them.
  You can send a letter from one end of the country to the other for less than the cost of a small packet of sweets - so the service itself isn't expensive.
  I've never quite understood why people take a job at a certain salary and then strike for more money. They are above the national minimum wage, although they aren't on a good wage, but it's a job and it pays the bills. With email and other electronic mailing systems readily available, the mail service isn't used as much as it used to be. And there ar thousands losing their jobs due to the economic climate. So is this a good time to strike? I doubt it!
• Agree. Besides it is frustratingly annoying when they come to deliver parcels, they ring once and leave in rush...many times have been waiting for a delivery and the postman assuming no one was in during the day, simply left the card without even ringing the bell. Yesterday, they rang the bell and by the time I got to the door the driver had left, so as they have to go to the end of the road to make the U turn, I waited on the door waving at him, but he ignored me! I immediately called the local depot and no one answered...
• I totally agree, and when they are in work their crap anyway damaged mail and slow delivery. Must be cushy to work for them.
• That's what happens when employment unions take over companies - Royal Mail is the prime example
