Forums Forums National News Liverpool postmen to take strike

Anyone who thinks the job is easy wants to give it a go. What do you think they do, turn up at nine in the morning and are given a bike and a bag of letters to deliver? You try getting up at five or earlier six days a week in all weathers. You get attacked by dogs. You get robbed at knife point by drug crazed madmen. You take all kinds of insults because the DSS hasn't sent some lazy barstard giro. You get worked into the ground with bad backs, knees etc and get discarded.

Honestly some want to engage brain before commenting or moaning just because they might miss getting a bit of junk mail for one day.

if your job is at risk, the last thing you want to do is strike.

Im sorry, but the Royal Mail are bleeding money, they arein the shit bigtime, and if these muppets even want to have a job next year, they should be happy that their bosses are looking at ways to econimise, BEFORE its too late.

Okay, so lets keep the sorting office in Liverpool open, lets not be prepared to make sacrifices with regards jobs, to save a LOT more, and lets just watch Royal Mail lose so much money that the ... are all out of a job when it goes under.

FFS they DO strike whenever they get a bee in their bonnet, as far as I am concerned, there are a LOT of people who are losing their jobs due to economic problems, not just them, but wtf, the whole country could go on strike and it isnt going to make a blind bit of difference, because JOBS WILL STILL BE LOST, BUSINESS STILL NEEDS TO ECONOMISE.

One of the main reasons the Royal Mail is losing so much money, is thanks to the lazy barstard postmen, who get a sniff of anything and just think STRIKE STRIKE STRIKE. The amount of businesses who WON'T TOUCH ROYAL MAIL WITH A BARGEPOLE because of their happieness to strike and kill mail services is amazing, the workers are bringing these job cuts on themselves, I for one despair using the Royal Mail because I know that if a manager has a cross word with one of the staff, the whole fookin lot spit their dummy out, stamp their feet, and strike.

They are ... for doing this at Christmas, do they really think the bosses are going to give a shit, no they won't, they CAN'T simply say, oh well, because you spat your dummy out you big babies, we are all going to bow down to you lot and continue to lose however many million extra it is costing us each year to keep the sorting office open.

All it is going to do, is breed more resentment for these ... who should think about the fact they have a job right now rather than moaning they may lose it, and cause disruption for the normal, hard working person, who has sweet FA to do with thier jobs or company.

The move wont affect postal services, because EFFICIENCY far outweighs capacity in most walks of life. It will affect post services a LOT more if the Royal Mail end up in shit street and can't afford to pay their workers, and oh, they go on strike for weeks until a deal can be reached.

PLACE YA BETS NOW, THEY GO ON STRIKE IN 2009 FOR HIGHER WAGES! ...!

Sack the fooking lot of them I say, I know tonnes of people who would LOVE to have their jobs right now. Gets a bit cold and the morons just find any reason not to work.

striling to keep their jobs ???? that just dont make sence, if your job is at risk, the last thing you want to do is strike.

Job losses are a fact of life

agreed, every job has its difficulties, the above are some of the extreem conditions you hear about, the average day of a postie is pretty easy, and the only responsibilities they have are to put a letter through the right door. wow so hard.

try being a solider, you hear them moaning, but about real things like.....I need a gun and ammo if you want me to kill !

sack the pricks and be done with them, its getting dull now them strikin all the time.
