Forums Forums Local News CHEEKY POSTAL SCUM

Sooner they are all sacked and the Royal Mail is shut down the better. They are getting beyond the joke.

Id rather have Virgin or UK Mail running things personally. Atm, we dont have a choice, and the postal workers are using that to their advantage, abusing it and causing problems for everyone.

They all signed up and agreed to what their Union wanted, if they didnt agree they could have sacked the Union, but they chose not to, the Union gained them their requirements, but they got greedy and want more now.

As I have already said, even an official strike is now illegal, so an unofficial strike means to me, they should be told to get back to work or loose their fecking jobs!

Royal Mail management wont do it atm though because they dont have the infastructure to replace em.

I dont belive all the facts have been brough to light as to why they are actually striking...

A friend of a firend is a postie, and without going in to to many details, he was quite reasoned when he was telling me that he thought they where justified in their actions.

One of the facts is that their working day was extended by an hour - ok, not that bigger deal, but they got no more pay, and it was a management decision, and noone else, inc the unions where consulted...

Whilst its annoying not to get mail, I can sympathise with the situation of the postal staff, and in this day and age realise you have got to fight for everything, but.... they are lucky to have jobs and should be thankful.

In summary, I think its unfair to judge their actions without a full list of published facts, and think the title of this thread is very judgemental and unfair...

i dont think they are greedy matty. the likes of nurses, fireman, and police are unpaid and i think should be on more.the likes of footballers take the mick, my 5 year nervew can kick a ball around a field, weres the skill in that. i just think this country has not put everything into place like they should.
they help the wrong ppl most of the time.
Unions are crap and take too long for anything to get put into place.

Postman work in all weather delieving ur post and working from 4 in the morning. i think if anyone did there job and got crap pay i think they would kick off aswell, cuz i no for sure i would.

I agree with Stuy.
