[RTI]

now, reading from a bit of paper.

[Rommagic]

Royal mail only made a one per cent profit he says.Put your customers first he says strikes not the answer.

[RTI]

how about put the employees first. no mention of the bullying. no mention of the harrasment. no mention of all the job losses. no mention of the managers bonus's.
All the focus on London, does he not understand that the problems are countrywide. he hasnt got a clue.

He said strikes would cost more jobs and mail would go elese where, Mandy has not got a clue.

[RTI]

He has just proved how out of touch he is. the business minister? he needs to do less hob nobbing and "here here-ing" in his silly little room with all the other "lords" with no grip on reality and do more research into what he is talking about. How infuriating that this silly little man? im so angry after watching it.

Thats because he's a muppet :mfo

[tailfly12]

It looks like were striking then.

[Howard]

If he did my duty for one day he would be in hospital for 3 weeks.

Such a shame unknowing members of the public have no option but to believe the shite he biles.

[martin]

Just watched Mandelson on Sky making a speech about our dispute. I think the union should pull all money they pay the Labour party after watching him slaging the union and us workers off. I am fuming and would like to use stronger words. But i'm not going to lower myself :mfo

[IWW Fellow Worker]

Not one word about B&H. The man is well out of touch.

[Rommagic]

Lord Mandelson said that some customers who wanted to deliver parcels were already turning to rival firms.

"Royal Mail's finances will be plunged into the red... one thing this company cannot afford is strikes and industrial action," he told the House of Lords.

The strikes could also put small firms at risk just at a time when economic conditions appeared to be improving, Lord Mandelson added.

Avoiding strikes was "in the interests of Royal Mail, its employees and its customers", he said.


EXPECTED STRIKE DISRUPTION


22 October: Limited processing, movement and collection of mail


23 October: Limited delivery and collection of mail


Some managerial staff and contract drivers will be brought in to move mail but services will be "very limited"


Special Delivery and Royal Mail Tracked items will still be delivered on strike days


Post Office branches will be open as usual although collections will be affected


Parcelforce will operate as normal as it has its own collection, distribution and delivery network






Q&A: Royal Mail dispute
If the strikes did go ahead for a prolonged period, contingency plans for delivery of hospital appointments and medical test results were being drawn up, the Lords were told.
