Privatisation happens then the new owner sack all the managers and make us a wonderful company to work for and give us a pay rise and scrap doors to doors and give us smaller walk and put up DSA by 30p and pay all out pension debts and bankrupt UK Branch of Deutsch post, UK Mail, Northern Mail, Citymail, TNT Mail as they couldn't afford the postage cost as they couldn't get out of contract.

There is a chance though as Billys up for election in January - just hope someone stands against him as uncontested elections are NOT good for any Democratic organisation.

At which point the aforementioned (fewer staff, more work, worsening conditions) will continue at greater pace, but no-one will care about all that when it's costing them 70/80p to post a letter. They'll hate their postmen in the same way they hate politicians!

Privatisation vote in House of Commons fails by only a very small number of votes end of Feburary/beginning of March. Moya Greene sets out to reduce middle managers and gets only a few hundred volunteers. Annoyed she begins a project on the back of world class mail to look at reducing junior managers especially in mail centres. The threat of strike action by the junior managers November to Christmas 2011 means she abandons the whole idea.
