I asked our rep what the smaller surrounding offices were like and he says the smaller ones aren't so strong with less in the picket than walking past! Nationally it's not a huge concern as there is still plenty support but it's a good question as to why.

Maybe they haven't seen as much absorbtion yet? Maybe it's a more relaxed workplace with less pressure from managers if say only big offices have been told to make 10% savings PA? Is there is a closer bond between managers and staff in smaller offices and posties feel loyalty to the manager so go in? Maybe their customers in smaller communities rely on postie a lot more than in city/town so staff feel they need to go in for sake of customers? Also the job even when heavy must be a bit more enjoyable when walking round nice areas than doing loads of grotty flats or dodgy city estates?
