Im sure there are plenty of others out there willing to step into their roles who would appreciate the generous pay, pension, sick pay, holidays etc.

Does the acceptance of those generous terms mean that they have to accept what they think was unacceptable. Without knowing the cause of the walkout its premature to condemn their actions. However, it is depressing that some see people exercising a Human Right to withdraw their Labour as enough reason to terminate their contract, its even sadder people want to have others punished for a legal act, without first knowing the reasons behind the action.

Probably I just thought delivering mail on a Sunday just didn't happen or was even allowed, I wonder if I would get away with it if I gave myself a half day on Saturdays!

Walked out Friday over managers trying to go against the Christmas deal. Told do what they say or the office was off pay, 99% then left the office as refused to back down to managers demands. Back to work as normal on Saturday with the issues resolved from Friday. Massive back log so working sunday doing packets was offered but only a few went in and it was mostly managers that were in.

99% backing. Superb.

Shame about the " STAFF " that went in on Sunday though.

(Now what could I change the word STAFF to)

I agree no-one likes knowing they've given a troll the time of day. Then again, it's like the hoax 999-call - you've gotta respond, just in case... :neutral:

Perhaps the flamer is a genuine ignoramus who writes letters to his local newspaper regarding things he can moan about in the world, of which the extent is what he can view from his lounge window, believing that gives him the 'all-seeing eye'. If that's the case, perhaps one can provide him with the retention rate after six months for newly-inducted delivery people entering our well-paid, well-pensioned, unskilled and easy occupation....... :Very Happy
