Brief description of Royal Mail plans

Post by **Laz** » 05 Oct 2007, 21:09

Alright postal workers, i firmly support the strike and wish you all the best. I believe the strike centres around the intesification of the working process, job losses and the scaling down of pensions. But could anyone give me a brief outline of the exact proposals that Royal Mail bosses are making. That would be greatly appreciated.

In solidarity

Journalist? I wish, temp working for the NHS i'm affraid. Ive posted on here before but i've let the dispute pass me by apart from handing out a few Wobbly leaflets in support of the strike. I tend to get into lots of arguments with people (usually small employers) who criticise royal mail workers and i just like to have someammunition to hit them with apart from the obligatory "their struggle is my sturggle and the struggle of countless others" stuff.

This business is now run by two people with no transferable skills, and they're both millionaires. At least you didn't knacker a famous football club or make a balls-up of the national stadium.

We used to have a regular blood donation session at our MC. Unfortunately the managers thought the staff were just giving blood to get time off the floor. They said you could give blood but only in your own time, then they scrapped it all together.
