Just been reading some comments on the Timesonline and came across this.
It would appear that the Postal Union are the only ones fighting to save one of the last Public Services left in the Country. I am sure we have all benefited from the privatisation of other companies my bills for gas, electricity, rail travel etc have all fallen dramatically ha ha.
Privatisation only fills the pockets of big business and is a complete con on us the consumer. We should remember that without Trade Unions we would not have the Holiday entitlements, bank holiday entitlements, maternity pay/leave, paternity leave, minimum wage etc.
Perhaps we have become a nation with no fight in us and we just accept what employers want to dish out to us.
Good luck to the posties in their dispute

Yeah I thought her post was great..
Its about time that someone told them that, the union, our union is fighting to protect those services!
Unfortunately the public don't care about our pay, pensions, working conditions etc..
They think its a crap service but think it is down to us, not down to Royal Mail managers.
Trouble is they don't understand how Royal Mail works for example:
How many times do you read the public bad mouthing us about long queues in Post Offices - nothing to do with us. (post office)
How many times do you read the public bad mouthing us about having to go and pick up a parcel because no one was in - nothing to do with us (parcel force)
How many times do you read the public moan about not having a second delivery - nothing to do with us.. Royal Mail Managers..
Our union is fighting to protect these services, if the public don't care about us, turn this into something they do care about.
Tell them about the reduce service they will get.
