Glad to see the BBC taking a more balanced view. Perhaps somebody should follow this story up with the well written letter Broxi wrote yesterday explaining the real reasons for striking. We may win over more of the public soon!

An average days work for a well above average bloke - good on ya Peter Parker.

That was quite a good view. I'd disagree the dispute is about pay and job losses and you can debate about privatisation but he's on target with the boardroom being out of touch with the company.

For me, this sums it up perfectly:

Although Mr Parker said he could see both sides of the argument in the dispute between postal workers and their employers, he said ultimately he believed it was right to take industrial action.
"We had to stand firm - it's a point of principle," he said.

if we loose this strike i perish to think what this job will be worth,two of the biggest tossers running a business they know nothing about and creaming it for every pound they can get.I just hope we stand firm to beat this lying management who change the rules to suit themselves when they have not a clue what this job entails,and if everybody were to there job as it should be done by the 318 we can win this strike, power to the strikers
