It's up to postal workers all over the country to say to themselves, "I owe it to myself, to fight tooth and nail for the right to be treated with some dignity and respect, and not to mention fairness. I owe it to myself, to fight with every ounce of grit and determination that I can muster, to ensure that a management intent on bullying and harassing me in order to achieve impossibly ludicrous targets/pie-in-the-sky schemes, falls flat on it's face for the whole nation to see.
Finally, I owe it to myself, to ensure that in the decades to come, when somebody, maybe my grandchildren, ask me, "what did you do during the postal strike of 2009 when you were one of the last of the old-style traditional postmen?" I will be able to hold my head up, and say truthfully to them, "I stood on the line, and did what little I could to defend a time-honoured institution from the wreckers."
Well said D Harry
