What strike action is hitting the postal service?
This is the second, and biggest, wave of national strike action in a dispute which stretches back to the spring. The main postal union is to strike for two days starting at noon today and then again for two days starting Monday morning. After that it will mount selective action across Royal Mail’s operations. Two one-day strikes have already been held in July and the Communication Workers Union has mounted a month of selective walkouts at various operations in the postal network.
Why is it happening?
Royal Mail and the CWU are at odds over pay and pensions. Royal Mail has offered a 2.5 per cent one-year pay increase. The CWU wants to bring postal workers’ pay into line with the national average wage of £395 a week within five years — a rise of 27 per cent. Royal Mail also wants to end the final-salary pension scheme for all employees. This move is threatening to provoke additional strikes from its managers.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
