Thanks that's a great answer and by the sounds of it really unfair competition for the RM.

TNT take all the best bits and dump the cr@p on us which we still have to deliver.
No I'm not being paranoid, they really are out to get me.

Better late than never.The mere threat of a boycott could translate to companies returning to Royal Mail rather than risk undelivered items down the line. My first thoughts would be that there would have to be a tacit understanding with RM manasgement that it would be in everyone's best interest.
This subject is one that was close to my heart when I was an OPG and I came close to mounting a legal challenge against having to deliver DSA and it may well be the case that the CWU think they could win such
a court case.The danger is that in calling for a boycott they could be liable to a claim for damages from the leech-mail companies,potential damages that could polish a Union off.

If we take too long over it the other providers of mail services will have time to plan and engage every temporary and unemployed worker in the land to deliver their mail when we decide we won't, and what was a long term threat becomes a short term one. Speed is important here I feel.

They don't have the network to do that as far as I'm aware
