Notice anything odd about the join dates and member numbers????
You even went so far as to answer / applaud each others comments. So, if you are the same person, you are one sad ufcker. If you are 2 people, you are a pair of time wasting tits....
POSTIE - any chance of checking the IP addresses? We can always see where the IP address leads. I suspect a manager......
The problem with a person like this is that they deliberately set out to wind everyone up, they know that tempers are frayed so they immediately start with the slurs, provoking the usual replies. They know full well that they are posting on a public section of the forum and are actively seeking to stir up public feeling against us by attempting to show that we actually despise the customers and don't care about them.
Have you noticed how they never post a response when it is pointed out to them that it is Leighton/Crozier that are to blame, that it is the decisions of management that have lead to the dispute in the first place. They just bang on about the old chestnut, 'if you don't like it, get another job'.
To the REAL customers I say, yes we are sorry about the strike, yes we do realise that small businesses lose money, yes we do know that they can change suppliers and that we are putting our futures at risk. But at the same time we are still willing to stand up for ourselves, to protect our rights and at the same time your postal service. How many post offices must close, how late in the afternoon does your mail delivery have to be before it is pointless to receive it that day? What time do you want the final collection from your postbox to be? Do you want a letter you post 1st Class to reach its destination the next day, or the day after?(RM's idea is for you to use Special Delivery, a snip at only £4.30, compared to 34p)
We know the effects that a postal strike causes on the economy, we know the feeling of anger it causes, but unfortunately we have no other way of either highlighting the current problems with RM's so-called modernisation plans, or of defending ourselves. This dispute is not about money, yes we would like to earn a decent wage, but some if not most of us would be prepared to accept a pay freeze if RM backed away from pointless changes which degrade our terms and conditions and the service we provide.
To those who say that we don't care about the customers, well, anyone who lasts longer than 2 weeks in this job will say that the only reason they put up with the management bullying and harassment, the pitiful wages, and being lambasted in the media, is that we believe that we are providing an
important service to the public not a piggy bank for Gordon Brown, Leighton and Crozier to raid while running the service down so they can privatize it and sell it off piece by piece. I won't even start on about their wages! I think I need a
