so basically most of you would except 40 quid pay reduction a week[ pro rata your own salary], have to work with total flexibility which means i turn up for work and am told theres four hours for you today but twelve tomorrow. how can you run a family like that. ie picking kids up from school. then there is the small matter of loosing up to 60 grand in pension which we have paid in to for 26 years.well for those of you old enough dont go relying on your rural post offices as they will all go. how are the old to manage. once they have privatised it there wont be hardly any service at all.to the chap who cant pay his staff,welll we sympathise but we have no choice but to strike as we are fighting for our lively hood. btw if they get what they want royal mail staff will lose 40,jobs. thats 40,000 familys.think about it.

People dont realise its only by striking inj the past any rights are gained.
AND MAYBE THE COMPANY WOULDENT LOSE MONEY IF THE BOSSES WERE NOT SO GREEDY WITH FAT WAGES!

Why are you on strike? Just so that you can have your pension and jobs protected?

Well, join the real world there is no longer any such thing as a protected pension or job.

My business relies on the post. I'm waiting for cheques perhaps you can tell me how I am going to pay my staff and mortgage being as money I'm owed has not turned up yet. Go back to work and stop f**king around with my life.

I think the Royal Mail are being pathetic and deserve to have their Royal title taken away for their unreliability. I don't support anyones reasons to strike because there are far better ways to get a point across. They are loosing millions of pounds and millions of customers, they're only creating more work for themselves to do and so I can't see how the Royal Mail can afford to give them whatever it is that they want after all this.
Thats just my opinion... I haven't really read up on the subject enough for you to need to pay attention - but this is the impression you are giving.

You're going to be busy enough fighting for your own job in a couple of years time when your constant unreasonable salary demands cripples the Royal Mail into recievership and therefore making you all redundant without serverance, never mind your pensions. Remember Rover cars?

Did you know that Royal Mail already loses 14p for every letter sold? Any more burden in costs is going to bring it crashing down.

WELL, isn't it just so easy for people who don't know the circumstances to have such enthusiastic condemnation.

I very much doubt they want to be on strike. Nobody likes losing money. They are doing it for a reason - they don't want to let anyone walk over them.

I wish I could strike everytime things don't go my way. I guess everybody else does too. But everybody else just accepts the fact that sometimes things don't go as you'd like them to, and get on with life and work. Why can't you?

I've been called a royal pain in the a--, but never a royal mail scab.

ah yes, you are on strike to protect your job.

Except that your disruptive action will cuase further businesses to move away from Royal MAil and use privatised postal services, realise how much more effiecient they are causing Royal Mail's profits to drop further meaning that even more bone-idle posties willl have to be laid off.

Pathetic

My parents were both very big union people. I've been to many union rallies with them. I support anyone's right to strike. I wish there was a union in my company. I would be the first to join.
