Let's get to the nitty gritty

[westlondonpostie]

I feel another name change coming on

[mailman337]

...and what exactly has it got to do with you?

you obviously earn too much, to be on the defensive like that

How much do you earn???? Answer the question.

Come on, we await your reply, how much ??

[Wild Rover]

At least a decent journalist would research a little more and spell properly, unlike our "Nofolk Nelly"

[kwikpost]

how much to postal workers actually earn??

despite the cwu's whinging and striking I am sure if the RM bosses weren't getting big fat salaries, and the posties earned more, these strikes wouldnt be happening.

So, what do you (postal workers) earn and how much (do you think) is a fair wage??

Immaterial as we are not asking for a pay rise. Anyway my take home pay for a 40hr week is £230.

what???? that can't even be mimimum wage. there is no way on earth i could live on a take home wage of just £230.

[norfolk nelly]

lol this is really funny.

1) i am not a plant, or a journo, just a pissed off punter.
2) my hubby only takes home £200p.w. without overtime. we get child tax credit of about £100 a week. we have 5 of us to feed and we live in the country and have to run a motorbike (for him) and a car. I look after my children and am proud of it. my kids wont be delinquents because we're both off working and neglecting them, just to chase a few more £'s
3) i'm not changing my name cos i'm just voicing an opinion (which is shared by just about everyone i know!)

postman, u think £338 is low paid? what planet are you on? my hubbys a farm worker. THATS low pay. and a lot more strenuous and dangerous than any post sorting/delivering! But he works hard to make sure deadlines are met and work is done, because if its not, the pigs suffer, and thats not fair on them! right now, you posties that are striking are treating us customers like farm animals. no matter what you say, your actions speak louder and they're saying you dont care how we suffer, YOU are more important! whatever happened to the customer is always right?

[mandelsons_toenail]

norfolk nelly , that £338 is before tax, ni + pension

So he takes home £240. I took home £252 thhis week.

Brilliant money eh NOT

and hw do you know our job ISNT strenuous?

RM account for the most muscular skeletor injuries problems in the uk.

Us posties are all pretty f****d

Im 30, my knee is gone, need ligament and cartilage op

AT 30 YERS OLD

ALL FOR £250 A WEEK + all the bulying that comes with it and threats of pay deductions

[norfolk nelly]

my hubbys is about £250 before tax. about £200 take home. and he hasnt been able to afford to pay into his pension for years! thats low paid!!

get another job then if he doesnt like the pay

we dont mind the pay, its not about pay , its about the way our service is being turned into s**t, along with our hard fought for terms and conditions
