Today was shambles, the amount of packets we had was crazy. didnt finish till 2 and a half hours over my normal time. packets in my opinion are becoming too much.

Royal mail states that packets are going up (and letters are going down (yeh right) ) , So how are we supposed to finish on time, Packets are most definatly increasing in quantity (and size it seems) and we all know packets are time consuming to deliver for multiple reasons. (waiting for them to answer door, filling out red card, not able to fit in pouches so having to drive etc).


I dont understand Royal mails logic, the thing that causes the most time to deliver is increasing, yet we still expect you to finish on time.

Today my van was full to the brim with parcels. I'm on my own on my route so I had to deliver each one, the mail was fairly heavy but ok, the amount of parcels however was simply extortionate. I ended up working two hours over my normal finish time, and considering I ran when delivering the last few bags of mail, it was down to the parcels which added the time on for me

nuff said bruv, you get no respect from me.

Running to finish 2 hours over, I've heard it all now. No wonder he isn't striking, no backbone to say no to working over never mind to go on strike.

You're going to cross the picket line but yet you want respect? Yeah good luck with that one .

[fishtank]

He thinks he's in line for the £300!

Lol.
I hope he hasn't told the wife he's getting £300.

There's a few in my office openly saying they won't strike. I wonder if they'll still feel the same come the day.

Well done mate and condolences on losing your dad. The 'I can't afford it' brigade should read that and be ashamed.

Miners went on strike for ONE YEAR. Not just for themselves, or the coal industry, but for US, the workers.

What possible excuse could someone have for not striking for ONE DAY?

[trevjim]

Wow it's like talking to kids having a tantrum.


The reason I won't strike is because I believe it to be greedy, set in your ways, and because the company owes you nothing so stop acting like it does.

You should all be lucky that you have a job, get paid, have a roof over your head etc. We have it so much better then millions in this country, we get a pay above minimum wage for unskilled work, we get pension, good hours with evenings and Sunday free.

The times are changing and lots of companies are changing, deal with it. It's life, royal mail is not your company, we do what's in the contract.

How did I get this view, I've served tours, seen the conditions some people in this world have it. I've had jobs doing 60-70 hours weeks, for minimum wage at horrible hours. When public sector strikes went on, I can assure you no one has sympothy for you. Your are greedy. Open your eyes to how good we have it, even if it gets worse, we still have it a lot better than others.

[TrueBlueTerrier]

Ah the old others have it worse so your wrong to keep what you have got. How about bringing them up to our level.


In the least polite way possible, piss of with the tours crap. I recognise the sacrifice and the terms you used, why, because I had 3 active duty tours in 16 years and there is no way the Mob would treat their lowest and least capable squaddie the way this mob has. So in the vernacular of the forces "Wind your neck in" and get in with the grunts not the Rodneys.

[Pinky 1]

I also take offence at the tours comparison. Even the Ruperts never treated me like this company treats some of it's employees.
Again, wind your feckin' neck in.

Then you too saw changes in our forces over the 16 years you served. Some of them we didn't like, but did we strike? No.

Things change to keep up with the times. Have you guys ever thought that without the changes we dont like, the company could have gone down more then you believe it has now? You could be a lot worse of without these 'changes'

You shouldn't have bothered explaining your reasons.
You had more credibility when thought you were just doing it for the money.
