No one is saying our hours have been changed by management

U were right TBT, tony benn

Tony Ben says

Deliberate decision to destroy Post Office. Says competition unreal as charged 7p per per item. Mentioned we are only ones delivering . Mentioned free Blind stuff. Mentioned Social responsibility.

Sky said reality is that we have to work in competition with others. No we are not in competition said Tony Benn.

Treated like dirt by Local Managers.

Gave as good as he got well done tony.

The bit about the "women votes" was fantastic, totally flustered the reporter.

A better poll would have been:
Do you know why the postmen are on strike?

Me too; if everyone on here voted maybe there would be a more balanced view, rather than just the usual Daily Mail "reader" "opinions"
