Workers 'do not want to penalise public'

A planned 24-hour strike by Royal Mail workers that could have disrupted festive postal deliveries in the Luton and Dunstable area has been called off.

Members of the Communication Workers Union at the Dawson Road processing centre in Bletchley, Milton Keynes, had scheduled the industrial action for December 19. But they now say they don't want to penalise the public who have shown them such support.

The dispute centres on Royal Mail plans to close the centre and open a regional distribution depot near Junction 15 of the M1, which the union says could cause 600 job losses at Bletchley.

It would be a surprise if any of them went ahead in view of the Hooper Report - he is intimating 35 out of 71 Mail centres closing in the near future - and who knows what TNTs role is going to be - I would imagine they are being brought in to organise mail centres and hubs.

I does not matter what the public think anymore it has gone beyond that and we must bring this govenment down and all it's minnion's if we are to have a future in this country anymore!. Not just as employees but as free citizens of this once great nation we call the united kingdom!. For make no mistake we are all under the biggest threat to our freedom and our right's too strike and vote and decide the fate of our nation!.

It'll take a wee bit more than that I'm afraid. Nice idea though.
