Royal Mail has duty to maintain local jobs

PUBLIC DUTY: Royal Mail is in the unique position of being the provider of a universal postal network and also having a strong duty as a public service provider.

Within the city of Stoke-on-Trent, I am highly concerned that Royal Mail has plans to downsize the number of staff engaged and employed within its distribution process.

The Communication Workers Union have undertaken a ballot calling on staff to take strike action to fight the proposals by senior executive management to reduce the numbers of postal workers' jobs within the city.

I am highly concerned that this downgrading of jobs at Royal Mail will reduce the levels of regular, reasonably paid employment within the city.

Royal Mail has a duty to provide a universal service and it must also consider its social obligations to maintain local jobs for local people.

I fully support any action that the CWU will take to protect postal jobs.

this is a clear example of why people should never vote labour.

local jobs for local people
social duty to employ people
all against the policies of the party he represents.
maybe he doesnt know its his party that cause this mess by stealth taxes on pension funds that produced not just ours but everyones pensions fund deficits.
or his party that had to"lead europe"by jumping the gun on opening the postal markets to any and all.making royal mail delivery their stuff at a loss.
