Postal workers on strike again, and again, and..
« on: 17 July 2009, 21:13:29 »
They were out today and, according to the breaking news there will be strike action on 25, 27 and 28 July.

Huh? Do they live on a different planet to the rest of us?

I think they probably do.


Should be grateful they have jobs at the mo, sure there is a big queue to take their place.

I understand what you're saying but.....employers mustn't be allowed to use the recession as an excuse for shafting the workers.
For instance, Leeds City Council who want to reduce the wages of all their male refuse collectors, to bring them into line with their female refuse collectors. Yeah, right.

same old story  fat cats getting fatter , workers getting shafted , workers did not start the down turn but buy god we have to pay for it , billions to the bank  nothing to industry, how much will they save  by closing a few post offices , getting rid of  a few posties , no doubt the bosses  wages will be going up
cant wait till next year when taxs and ni go up
sell the post office to the french like every thing else  >:( >:(
