Charles Dickens campaigned for postal deliveries on Sundays in his Kent village, The Times reported. A letter has emerged in which the author bemoaned his neighbours’ bid to end a Sunday postal delivery and warned that he would leave the area if it was discontinued. The “proposed cessation of the Sunday Delivery of letters” may not affect his neighbours, who had not objected, he wrote. But “my case as a public man with a large correspondence is very much greater than theirs, and should far outweigh it”.

"Employers are always seeking more productivity from workers, without considering the human factor, the worker's age, the weather conditions and the intense heat. We need to intervene before it's too late, reducing working hours and the load carried by workers, because it's impossible to sustain the rhythm they're forced to work at for many years."

No comparison with this day and age. The Royal Mail was as important then as the Internet is today. Dickens was a great social reformer. Can't read anything into this article.
