More Strikes?

[nixx]

You guys just aswell get back to the job centre as you cannot seem to do the job you are paid for... you are doing nothing but making the public hate you. Its a shame... many people would love a job and you guys are just messing around.

I agee with you nixx, love the new royal mail slogan! It is a shame because I have loved working for royal mail since the early 90's. Best job I have ever had, whether I have been out on delivery or indoors sorting.

Yes, there have been some changes and my hours have changed, but thats just life. I think I get a fair wage for what I do, it has enabled me to buy a nice house and enjoy a good lifestyle. Also, being married to a postie with 25 years behind him we are lucky enough to have all this and some good holidays to boot. If can't understand the mentality of some of the people on this forum. If you say what they dont want to hear you get blasted with abuse. Instead of that come back with a reasonable answer.

I think some of you who have been working for RM for a long time have absolutely no idea how hard it is to get another job, especially as you get older. It you worked for another employer dont you think you would have to go through changes there aswell. That is just the world today.

There are so many other things that you could put your energy into instead of running the company down. Why cant you just do your jobs come home enjoy your earnings and enjoy your life, family etc. Just be grateful that you have a job, your family are healthy. PS I'll wait for the abuse now LOL

"Many people would love a job"

Yes,we know,85000 of them all queueing up to work for Royal Mail! Please send them all to our office cause the last seven part timers we've employed have all left within seven months! Perhaps the've all just felt guilty at the fantastic pay and working conditions we "enjoy"! Perhaps the've all just wanted to give one of the other 84993 a shot at the good times!
Or maybe,just maybe the jobs not quite as easy as some people think! :cfo :cfo

Why don't you actually think through what you post.
Why do you think being a postie to you is, as you quote 'Best job i have ever had' ?
Do you think Royal Mail in their wisdom gave us our terms & conditions & again quote 'fair wage for what i do' ?

I'm striking because of the bullying and Harrassment that is going on, and also because I do not want to see anymore colleagues put through this, 15 years ago someone I knew was driven to the verge of a nervous breakdown and ended up having a stroke because of managements abuse and intimidation,
I think your view is well it's not affecting me I ain't bothered.
Well it does bother me an I'm proud to be on strike in support of my friends and colleagues,

[norfolk nelly]

my husband's job isnt easy, but he does it! and he doesn't strike for more pay/better conditions!

He has to lift 100kg loads every day, he works alone, so has to do all the work. he has to be up most days at 5am, but some days he's up at 2am! He only gets every other weekend off, thats only 2 days from every 14! He's lucky if he gets home before 6pm most days. You may argue that your job is just as hard. That's as maybe, but my husband doesn't strike and I'm betting at 12k a year (before overtime, which is variable), his wages are a damn sight less then postie's get as well!! But his job is his choice and he gets on with it without any public moaning or striking.

If you don't like your job so much posties, go on the dole and join the other £2+million people who will be skint and miserable this christmas, through no fault of their own. DON'T mess up everyones lives by holding the innocent public to randsom. So you're pissed off at your bosses, hardly OUR fault, is it? Any customer with any sense can see it's the CWU doing the striking, not Royal Mail the company.

At least Royal Mail are implementing temporary sorting places to soften the belly blow of these strikes. They know how important the post is to the public. How many cheques will be lost because of your short sighted selfishness? How many upset kids won't get their birthday cards? How many patients won't get important hospital information because of it? You are simply not thinking of the people you're affecting. But if you DO realise what affect your strikes are having, then SHAME ON YOU for being so ungrateful and so selfish!

If it were up to me, I would disband the CWU, sack all their members and give the job to the unemployed who would be grateful for them!

I'll probably get classed as a troll now, and if I do, it just will show the CWU workers short sightedness, they can't see other people opinions. Or worse! They don;t think other people opinions count! which is wrong, everybody's opinions count.

I myself buy and sell on eBay and I'm sick of filling in claim forms for lost/damaged in post items, only to wait over a month before I get my money back. How do you expect businesses to operate like this? I'm not a business, but the principal is the same.
