Agreement reached
with the Union- it is claimed.
Of course the Striking Workers
have still got to see this agreement?

Monday will be the test.

SkyNews and BBC
have both reported
that in some London and Liverpool areas
Postmen on Still on Strike, (like the classic 1959 film I'm All Right Jack)
even though the Union has said they should return to work now.

A "wildcat" strike is one that is NOT supported by the union so how would getting rid of the union stop the strike? Really LT you should decide which side you are going to be on at least. You can't slag off Bushblairbrownwllmartasda and then have a go at someone who is fighting them as well. Pick a point of view and stick with it, stop being so wishy washy and indecisive in your support.......

Times have changed
Unions are no longer needed.

Some Companys may not get that important mail
because the Hold Up now means that
there is a big risk now of Mail getting Lost forever.

And Fubar
I have said this Strike was not needed.

Points of Views will change after a Company you are working
with goes under
because of these Postal Strikes.
FACT.

Companies that do not have the nous to adjust to the current postal strike risks by increasing their reliance on email/fax and other electronic methods of getting data and important documents across .... one has to ask oneself, are these companies really sufficiently adept and responsive enough? Do these companies deserve to survive?

Sure
Half of the Strikers are now saying the same.

They do wildcat strikes
& get away with it.

Why have a Union - they ain't helping,
they are saying get back to work.

Which half? The top half, the bottom half or just a section in the middle?

Anyone else not been receiving mail recently? I've had almost none in the past two weeks, including a credit card bill that was sent on the 22nd of October. The Royal Mail have told me there aren't problems in the BN postcode area (no wildcat strikes), and there's been no redirection of mail from my address. I'm in the Hanover area.

The main stuff people get is Amazon orders
who are using TNT and other firms.

It was on the news yesterday
showing how a mail order firm has lost over 10k.

It also showed mountains of Mail
still not sorted.


You say wildcat strikes?
in London some are on go slow (reported on BBCLondon Local News)
and most of our mail goes through those striking bastards.
