Thats obvious to us people with an IQ over 5, not sure that is one of the first things they look for at Royalmail.

 

[Cian]

Got all of what I was waiting for from the UK today (2 DVDs) or yesterday (rugby tickets), so they can strike all they want

 

[British Bulldog]

So what are they striking over?

 

[1066gull]

They want more money.

 

[Horsham Gull]

The union is locked in dispute with the Royal Mail over the company's 2.5% pay offer and modernisation plans.

 

[Blue&WhiteSea]

So what are they striking over?

Only getting a 2.5% payrise and modernisation of the company (yes company not charity) which may result in job losses.

Fair play to them then I saw the grief it caused on the railway and we're still fighting.

Fighting against the privatisation that f***ed the railway! You knew the old railway when your manager knew your job better than you? I'm now fighting against managers who cant even do my job.

 

[Rangdo]

My company went through massive restructure 12 months ago resulting in 15% of the workforce losing their jobs and 5 months later I got a 1.9% pay rise.

Welcome to the real world fuckwits. Live with it or move on.

Trouble was it was all a bit of a game of poker Rail Privatisation and I am afraid (well not really) to say I came out of it miles better off than I ever thought I would.

It must be very frustrating having a manager who knows nought about the railway however because I have that skill I am left to get on with it as we produce the profits required.
