Will their stupid strike affect Pf 24.

Typical this week Ive ordered sh*t loads as well.

still makes room for opposition.

Scrap RM, we need a competant postal service.  One where the posties can read, realise if its not addressed to them, they dont open it.
A service where your post gets delivered at a reasonable time, not when the postie can be bothered.

Where my folks live it can be anywhere between 9am and 3pm and they get post for people all over the street.

I think they should fire anyone in favour of this strike.

If they dont want to work.  Fire them.  Otherwise yes, a new postal system pretty please.

the amount of french factory workers ive spoken to in the last month say theyve been rm posties is astronomical.

no parcelforce arent striking

It is stupid - you can sort of see the reasoning behind going on strike when it was say miners and the *only* jobs in the entire community involved working down the mine - (save for a couple of shop keepers & the doctor, vicar & school master)

in that case the only way to negotiate for pay was to do it collectivly

nowadays people have pretty much unlimited options as far as job mobility is concerned & there isnt any actual need for striking - tis basically just done by  people who are lazy and want to be paid greater than than the market rate.

Tis simple these days

If your job doesnt pay enough then negotiate for more pay

if youre company wont give you a raise then move to a different company

If no other company will hire you for a greater rate of pay then you are already currently getting paid pretty much what youre worth.

It isnt like there arent loads of opportunities for people to improve their own value/worth these days anyway - anyone can enroll on an open university course or go to night school. Most people in full time employment can apply for career development loans too.

Basically if you end up on low pay these days & you dont like it then it is pretty much your own fault.

I hate strikers, basically they are blackmailers, ( if you dont give us what we want we will strike and inconvenience a lot of people.), they are bottom of the thick chain, I expect the big guns are thick as well.

what a simplistic view.

find me another company a disguntled postman can move to and use the skills he has gained with royal mail? and dont say courier cos its a world apart.

Matt

so wouldnt you be forked off if your next payrise didnt cover the cost of inflation? so technically your getting a paycut.

yea actually dave that is a pretty basic outlook on a subject which you know very little about

why do you think people are postmen? a lot are because either theyre lifers, or because its outta necessity, the wife takes the kids to school in the morning, then they pick them up when they finish after school, or things like that
