Not just because there is strength in numbers. But because they are the ones who are going to suffer in the long run, unless they have the sense to join an alternative Union. And actually make an effort with that one. Not that, that is very likley!

by all means - join another Union - but they'll have one little problem - RM doesn't have recognize them

I believe there will be three delivery offices created in Liverpool.

Thats what they announced in parliament when asked by Louise Ellman (Liverpool, Riverside, Labour)

Louise Ellman wrote:To ask the Minister of State, Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform what assessment he has made of the economic impact on the City of Liverpool of Royal Mail's proposal to close the Coppers Hill mail sorting office; and if he will make a statement.

The decision to close the Coppers Hill mail centre was an operational decision by Royal Mail management. While Royal Mail intends to close this centre, it will be opening three new delivery offices in Liverpool. The Government fully appreciates that the closure of mail centres or other Royal Mail facilities creates uncertainty for Royal Mail employees and their families. I understand that Royal Mail is discussing the impact of their proposals and decisions with employees and will work with them individually to understand their preferences for future employment within the business.
