Postal workers vote for national strike

[bobski1976]

mon the postal workers. we will do our very best to inform our freinds why this strike is good for us all.

[globetrotter9000]

If the postal workers think that disrupting the delivery system by holding a gun to the governments head to get them what they want then they are pissing in the wind. All they are managing to achieve with their squinying and striking is simply fuck all. The world has moved on and the real problem is once again the government, they have failed to see this comming and done fuck all to prevent it. The telephones and railway are better off without the government and so is the mail.

[bobski1976]

what are you talking about.

the postal strike is because there trying to get rid of the old workers on good earning so they can be replaced with low wage temporary agency staff.

there taking on 30.000 for this stike.

back the workers. its just big business to the bosses thats all the bottom line is money to those fat cats.

[darkstar0709]

why not fire them all and give them to the jobless?

[KingHotdog]

what a great idea lets sack them all give those jobs to the jobless and let them say yes to everything and end up on £2.50 an hour . DARKSTAR UR AN IDIOT theres a reason people are out on strike losing money dont be an idiot that knows nothing and just says go to work.If u were a postie would u like being walked all over or would u do something about it. TELL ME WHAT YOU WOULD DO AND BE SERIOUS MR SMART ASS ???????/

[somersetwfc]

if the posties dont make a stand your post will be delivered late afternoon, as from jan 2010 a leaked document says that royal mail are changing their start times from 6am - 2pm to the new time of 9am - 5pm and if posties dont get the job done on time which they wont due to the increased work loads forced on them means your post wont be delivered at all as posties wont work later than their hours, as they too have families to go home too. STILL THINK THEY,RE ARE MOANING ???

[slartyuk]

Oh no my post will be late? lol it usually is anyway but I just dont like the fact they must understand it has a knock-on effect to the public,

I think millions more are afected outside the postal system with the strikes,sure i know they do a hard job but get a deal and stick to it.close to xmas a good time to upset the country and get the deal you want.dont pretend to me they are all pink n fucking fluffy,they know what they are doing.

[KingHotdog]

The last strike was 2 years ago in the summer so ur theory about it being deliberate for xmas is out the window as for the public its a shame they suffer but if they were in our shoes would u think they would do the same or just take whats thrown at them ??? as for being fed up of them moaning take a look at ur comments on this no postman has moaned anymore than u have moaned on this page UR FULL OF CRAP AND U KNOW IT NOW GO AWAY AND USE UK MAIL OR TNT BTW WE DELIVER FOR THOSE 2 LOL.

[slartyuk]

Yesterday i watched my local postman take a seat outside at 8.45 am then he started texting for 10 mons then he lit up a ciggi did some more texting then an old guy turned up and it looked like he was telling him to get a move on with the post,it looked like words were shared between them,the posty sat for about 20 mins smoking and texting before he started his round again.

this is why I dont give a fuck about your moaning.

[junglefighter682]

Oh for gods sake do you really belive the posties are striking because they care about the customers?? Dont be so naive. They are greedy selfish stupid socialists and they need to understand that the days of the unions are over.

[slartyuk]

IM fucking sick of these guys moaning and striking all the time knowing they have the country by the balls when they do so.

I for one will do my best not to use the postal service for anything from now on and i hope many more do the same

[slartyuk]

banks willnot be sympathetic and let us off because the postal service once again lets its country down,You donot have to use the service for postage and i suggest you all find a privatemeans of getting your parcels and mail delivered and sent.drop the UK post and go private.

[hoopslm]

please tell me who this private company is PLEASE

[slartyuk]

And again they strike. never happy as usual with pay and conditions,they seem to have a strike every 3 mins. if the service they give was worth them striking I would be behind them.

Now because of this millions of people with a good credit score will now become trash without good credit because of bills not getting paid on time,we will all miss paper statements telling us to pay our bills and this will bring us into theblack with credit scores..

.

[RapierMedia]

Ebay has reported to lord Mandelson that this is out of order, and that's something, but there are millions of other things that need to be sorted.

[somersetwfc]

if you was told to work overtime without pay or get sacked even though you have to get the kids from childminders that you cant afford, sit back and watch managers recieve between 5 and 10 grand bonus due to your hard work, made to take a 25% pay cut ,the threat of your pension terminated. would you strike. POSTIES ARE NOT STRIKING OVER MONEY.

[slartyuk]

But its ok to not think about the public? because when you strike we end up getting our bills through the post? LATE and have to pay huge bank late fees and even become blacklisted because it brings about a bad credit report if your paying bills late...so thanks for thinking hard before you strike again guys,nice one.

[EuthanizeReligion]

Fuck these postal workers fire and rehire other people that want to work, This is insane and selfish they are not even thinking about the citizens while doing this.

[bingo113]

and i suppose they were not thinking about the "citizens" when we went on strike over the later starts (you getting your mail late in the day).
